Just replace it. Even if you drop the tank and clean the rust out, the rust will still continue to eat away at the tank, its not worth it![sm=badbadbad.gif]

You can get the old one "boiled out" and sealed by a radiator shop.It's been awhile and I don't know how much either one would cost.

for the most part, depending on the level of rust you can get them boiled and lined, but the cost s usually about as much as a new tank, what do you need one for? I might be able to point you in the right direction.
