rusty tank, very common if you don't preserve your car from rust once a year...
look on ebay. NEW tank costs something like 100£ + 2h work and it's changed 
after changing the tank remember to preserve it and the whole car from rust.

might also be the reason why it got eaten by rust. fuel also preserves tanks from rust and when there's a certain place that is not covered by fuel it may get rusty much faster than the rest of the tank... u think why all Scorpio tanks have holes on the upper side...

Preserve it before you change it because it rusts around the filler neck,seldom where you can get at it when fitted.

it's way better if you can perform a proper car preservation, not only tank...
