A local shop has reviewed my polluted & rusted fuel cell and has proposed to charge me $500 CDN to perform the following work ...

- steam clean tank
- acid wash interior
- neutralize interior
- coat interior
- fix and reseal rollover valve
- replace existing pick-up line
- fix existing pick-up line seal
- replace banjo fitting with 3/8 AN connector
- install second pick-up line with 3/8 AN connector

Question: am I getting a good deal?

My do-it-yourself solution would include doing the first four steps in my garage (acid? yuck!), finding my own AN connectors and buying a new rollover value and a new sending unit (with integrated second pick-up line). The last two items would easily cost me $200 USD, which means more like $400 CDN by the time exchange and shipping was factored. My current sending unit works fine.

Just thinking out loud here. I appreciate your thoughts ...

Thanks,
