Im going to be the pain in the ass guy to say to not do this. My only say is this. A freind of mine did this on his 88 Comp, and I told him not too becasue those vents are functional to allow any vapours that could come about through the top of the gas tank, and by the looks of your setup, it was almost identical, and they are used for access to the pickup lines and sending units in the tank. His sending unit went, and the only way to get it out was to either A- pull the entire tank out, which involves getting at teh filler neck, which you need tiny arms to get at, or B- cut a hole where he filled in to cover the vent over the sending unit. So in the end, he went back to where he started. And like the rest of the guys say, he had a drain, but didnt clean it regularily, and voila. Mold. He tried using the rubber plug method, but found himself re-sealing it alot so he glassed it all in. Dummy. (Message edited by bigkitch on April 29, 2008)
