should i get a new gas tank?

[wazzabie]

I'm debating if I need to get a new gas tank. My tank has has about 8 dime sized rust spots on the inside. The outside has some surface rust in two places but not really all that bad on the outside. It still holds gas with no leaking. The inside is full off junk from 30+ years of use. I'm using some water and laundry soap to clean it on the inside.

A new tank is 130 bucks. thoughts? can I get away with this tank?

you can get away with the old tank, especially if you have already cleaned it and put all that time into it, might as well run it.

I clean the outside of mine with a angle grinder and a cup brush and then layed down a coat of POR 15 and a top coat of krylon. I have yet to put any gas in it but it looks cool.
