I don't know if this is a continuation of my issue of my fuel tank crack
that I wrote about on the 16 th of August but the crack showed up after
refilling a tank that had been previously always kept full. My estimate is
that it was empty for about 5 or 6 weeks in a pretty hot AZ garage.
Probably over 100 F every day.
