Gas tank replacement?

by Randy
(Granbury, TX, USA)

My 82 Corvette has the original tank in it with the plastic liner. I drained the old gas out of it and dried the tank, but after about 30 minutes gas reappears in the tank. Have done the mopping up of the gas about 5 times now.I pulled the tank and there is no rust on the outside, but I I did see a little rust on the rag when I was mopping up the residual gas. Do I need to replace the tank or is this a normal thing?
