  Fuel tank cover corrosion.

  Hi, was under the car at the weekend and had a look at how the car was doing for corrosion.
  Although our cars are mainly aluminium there are a couple of steel items underneath mainly the subframes and fuel tank guards.
  My subframes were fine but the tank shields had some surface corrosion starting.
  I sprayed this, and the sub-frames, with lanoguard for now just to keep everything under control.
  I know this can be an issue on the L405's and the tank guards can rust out quite badly if not treated.
  Hopefully the guards on the D5 are made from thicker steel.
  I may get them powder coated at some point but at least they have some protection for now.
