[DML] Re: warning to non-mechanics (gas tank)

["d_rex_2002" <rich@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Marv and List,

Just thought I would pass along some advice I heard at the PF show
regarding shipping a new/used Delorean fuel tank via UPS or USPS.
When they ask what the item is that you are shipping, tell them
it is a water storage tank that is used in the bow of a boat. 

This avoids all of the problems that may arise if you say that it
is a gas tank or fuel tank.  If it is a used tank, make sure to
clean it out well with solvent, then flush it out with soap/water
and let it dry completely, to get rid of any gas smell.

If a gas or solvent odor persists, you can say it's a "gray water"
storage tank and you used solvent to clean it out before shipping.

Marv, if you cannot find a good, cheap fuel tank to buy, I have a
good but not so cheap fuel tank, if you are interested.

Later,
Rich W.
