If the coating ever starts to fail, I’d probably cover it with some clear coat. That way I can keep an eye on any rust that may try to form Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’ve shifted a lot of production to China but the bigger bulkier things like fuel tanks that cost a lot to ship are still made in Canada.

Pete M Posted January 24 Author Share Posted January 24 arrived today. has a waxy residue on it so I'm definitely not going through the effort to paint it in the wintertime. has the slosh pan inside, but not the little bracket that holds the bottom of the pump assembly. close enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just left mine on and will spray it down with more anti corrosive from time to time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
