      Most of the cast tanks I have seen do not leak even after nearly 3/4 of a century.
      For those that do leak resealing using original factory method is easy, low cost and neat.

          I have split the tanks, too. Not too big of a deal except for one thing: The halves must be perfectly flat together, when reassembling. It is a guarantee that they will be warped when they come apart. I took mine to an automotive machine shop, where they have a very large, flat belt sander for truing gasket surfaces. Only took the guy a minute or two to fix them up like new.

          Long live American manufacturing!
