Subject: Re: leaking wing on IVP

Ralf,

I am not a professional but I think that you need to cut the tanks  
open and reseal them.

Lloyd Dunlap (work lloyd.dunlap@tema.toyota.com, home ladunlap181639mi@comcast.net 
) (mobile 810-217-3407, home 810-225-9113) lives in Brighton, Mi and  
had a problem with his tanks from (I believe) auto fuel. You might ask  
him what he did to solve the problem.
