Mine is a SoCal desert truck, so if it wasn't lacking a cap for god knows how long, there'd probably be nothing too wrong with it.
I don't blame you for trying to save the original tank. I tried to save the one I just replaced. I put a bunch of time and money into it. All seemed well, then I took it for a drive and started smelling gas fumes. It had developed a pinhole on the back side.

The ability to speak several languages is an asset, but the ability to keep your mouth shut in any language is priceless.
