The gas tank is off. Even though it has always leaked, I have never taken it off. Now I know why. It has rubbed against the body at the top causing a hole. That hole means the gas tank has gotten water in it over the past few years and is rusted inside. When I cleaned out the little gas (or what used to be gas) inside, it leaks all over now. The search is on for a new gas tank. Unfortunately, I am finding that the 1965 convertible had a unique tank. Plenty available for the 66 and the 64, including plastic/new material. It does look like the F47A tank from a 1967 will work with a new sending unit and straps. Add another part to the list.
