Visone currently does not have the unit I need in stock. He did say to call every week and check since they are always getting fresh vehicles coming in.

One just needs to separate the drawn pan/components from the tank. Snip the sela rings from around the combustion port and exhaust port.

The tank is not fit to be repaired. I borescoped the inside of the tank and it is obvious why this happened in the first place. It's bad. The replacement tank that I need is no longer available and I have not been able to locate one on a shelf anywhere. (part # 91028)
