After pressure washing the latest fuel tank we did another inspection and found two small holes in the bottom too
The holes are now visible because we enlarged them for repair later

We decided not to repair but see if we can't locate another one but newer.
We found one ..
The last one was a 1982, this one is a 1987 year model and we have now started to install the fittings

We started connecting all the fuel lines and do a fuel leak test only to find the fuel leaked out the bottom .
we naturally suspected a leaking tank ..

However, The tank wasn't even connected to the bus ..
It's the wrong year, so we pulled it to find it doesn't go with this bus it belonged to a 1974 MCI 8 Bus with a Pony tank,
note the opening in the bottom.
We also noticed the tank had been repaired one time before ..Not a good sign . So we decided to pull this one out and locate another good used one .

Note the top vent was taped up

Removed floor board ..falling apart

Aluminum floor panel needs to be repaired or replaced .

New floor board, located a good used tnak
