Hi folks,

So, my 84 smells like gas.  I had the plan of doing a fuel tank reseal this winter.  So here are the questions.

Van has 248,000 mils.  Original tank.  Lived in the south most of its life. 

Should I just reseal original tank if not rusty on the out side?
Or, should I replace with new one with larger outlet?

If a new one.  What is the top choice these days?  Still the Spectrum from Amazon?

I have sealed the evaporation tanks and I’m sure the seals on the fuel tank are tired. 
Smell of gas is in the front.
Other question.  I have a sender seal and the original sender from my 85 that worked fine when removed.  The current sender is working. 

Should I replace the fuel sender, with a new one  or just the O ring?

Another option is to purchase a tank from my local VW bus person and have him pressure test and possibly undercoat it for me before I do the install.
I could even let him install the sender.  Cost goes up but the tank is probably less likely to fail.

Your thoughts wanted.
