Do I or don't I...........?  Group: Members Posts: 5,900 Joined: 24-March 06 From: SE PA, near Philly Member No.: 5,765 Region Association: North East States  |
After spending countless hours lubing wire harnesses to get them thru the side marker/signal light boots, cussing & bitching, I thought about looking with flashlight into the gas tank. Bad thing to do!
I had drained the tank 6 months ago & took the pseudo gas to a shop that heats the floor with it in winter. Cool! Problem complete. Replaced lotsa fuel lines thereafter. Try to open the gas cap, doesn't want to. Finally, with "persuasion", the gas cap pops off. First thing I'm faced with is severe rust in the filler neck! Shine a light into the tank, and I see about another gallon of fuel, but looks like it's full of rust! Rust must have plugged the strainer. Like I need aother project, but what sould I do? Looks like the tank has to come out, be steamed & sealed., right? Who do I go to in SE Penna to get this done? Pat |

Is the rub rust patch on the outside typical? I think I've seen this before...
Also, what does the corrosion on the tank cap indicate? moisture? age? Attached thumbnail(s)
