Location: west country		As above. My old one is like a string vest and not recoverable. What are my options ? I've tried Rimmers but no joy. Did find one on preloved but sold. Don't really want to put a secondhand unit in.

Thanks
Paul

You could also try M+M mini+metro breakers in Warrington.
Both of these are online or give them a call.

In the interim I'd wire brush the old unit and coat it with a couple of layers of fibreglass matting and resin - well worked in. It would be leakproof, sturdy and resist further external corrosion. Given where it is situated, it would not spoil the look of the car. Not as good as a new unit but better than the smell / leaks / safety problems of a perforated filler neck. Best done when it's off the car. Good luck.
