Hi Quag, 3 imperial gallon tanks for 1970's T120 and TR6 models are rare in England, I have been looking for one for my TR6P for the last 10 years. When you find one, it is either s***** or they want you to pay for it in diamonds!
I would suggest that you fill all the pitting on the outside with lead, as was used when repairs were done by panel beaters.
This will give substance to the outside and then use a good epoxy tank sealer on the inside. I can't offer a make as yours and our are different but I use 'petseal' to great effect.
Of course, the offending metal can be removed and replaced with new, but that is going to be expensive. Then you have got to find a craftsman / woman to carry out this task.
Roy.
