Working on my deceased friend's 77 Birchaven; finally finished his projects
and attempted to start the engine; wouldn't start. Would start when
pouring gas into the carb. Poured 5 gallons into the tanks; smelled gas;
saw several small leaks on the bottom of the forward tank. Caught about 2
gallons of gas in a bucket before it stopped dripping. Saw a small drop on
the rear tank; rubbed it with a rag and it started pouring out; captured
the other 3 gallons. Now have to pull both tanks.

Question: Can anyone tell me if they have repaired their tanks and if so,
how and what products or services used??

Any other ideas??

Coach is in Winston Salem, NC. Thanks for suggestions.
