MKI fuel tank, compression test

Scott williams on fuel MKI fuel tank;

I believe if you have lots of time, the fingers of ET, and/or some 
long-axx needle nose, you can replace a pipe that runs to the pickup, 
accessed from 
the top fuel guage sender plate opening.  But, since you are spending 
massive $$$ on this, why not go with a fuel cell or 13.8 gal MKII tank?  
Pipe replaced with rubber tubing?  I have no experience with this, but 
I'm sure some of the race shops have.


Calimus on low compression values:

After your wet test, consider having a leak-down test done to get 
confirming diagnosis before tearing down.  OT, but a mechanic I consulted 
about an old Subaru (78?) my brother had blown the head gasket on said 
you only needed 100 psi for an engine to run.  Since the car went for 
$100, didn't feel too bad.
