*nods* There's a "Harry's U-Pull-It" about an hour or less from Reading, over near Allentown. I'll see how much they're asking, when I get home.
In the meantime, it looks like someone in town (who is a competent mechanic vouched for by the friends I'm staying with) might be willing to drop the tank for me for $25 an hour for labor. That's worth waiting here to get it fixed vs. going home. back east it'd probably be $55 an hour at least.
And it gives me time to work on front wheel deflectors. I actually did some aero testing for the placement of those today, by putting tufts on the bottom of the undertray, then dipping the ends in orange paint, driving, then stopping and seeing where they were flopping the most. The conclusion is that there's a heck of a lot of turbulence (probably because of the 90-degree front transition), but I at least have an idea of which way the air is going now. Plus, the deflectors I want to make will be far smoother than just a flat vertical piece in front of the wheels, so that should help too.
