Peter/Geoff
On all the 401/403 tanks I have taken off there has been what looks like fibre glass resin on the base of the tank under the straps, many years ago I sold a tank to someone who stripped this off went to Bristol Cars to get it repaired only to be told that this was factory applied to seal the tank and protect it from the reaction with the steel straps.
Peter, make sure it is not this that is causing concern as it may not need repair if it does I would certainly follow Geoff advice and have the tank repaired.
Having said that I have used fibre glass resin to seal two petrol tanks , one of which has lasted 18 years without problem the other 5 years, not a solution for the purist perhaps but it does work.
Geoff.
