SR Perf fixed mine Rebel.About a year ago my tank was leaking,he patched it up and hasnt leaked since!The holes were created by the metal surround strapes rubbing on the tank!So if you fix your tank yourself or use somebody else,make sure you got some rubber in between.Rubber that doesnt melt ! just incase when your filling and the petrol over flows .Mine spills over on the odd occassion and has melted the rubber a bit!

just another thought that arrived in the way of a rough running big block with a quadrajet carbie, was a dirty fuel filter on the incoming fuel line in the front of the carbie,was blocked full of crap so we gave it the flick and put an inline sports filter clamped to the inside of the guard( well away from getting overheated near the motor) never had another problem with crap coming from the tank, even after fitting a new tank ( still don;t trust petrol stations););););););) by the way best guy for overhauling and modifying quadrajets is sams performance padstow

Rebel- I have a spare vette tank lying around:p I was suprised it was made of plastic, very light. Anyway, I'll lend it to you if your desperate, still has some optimax in it too! Although the tank only a few years younger than yours!

Thanx WR, appreciate the offer.
I should have posted an update but on closer inspection it turned out the tank was full of sand and other debris. A good clean and a vacuum seems to have solved the problem for now. I also fitted a fine fuel filter in line and will keep an eye on that every few months or so to see how it goes.
Thanx to everyone for the responses here too!
