OK, Miles tale of woe has got me worried. I disassembled my car 4 months ago, it was running just fine before the "rustoration" started, and in the process I drained and removed by gas tank. It has been sitting on the parts shelf since then. What should I do (if anything) to clean and reline the tank? How should I store it (I haven't done anything, but it sits there with no gas in it and the cap on. Any suggestions will be appreciated. By the way, IMHO the way the Steve at Otto's has responded has not helped him at all. Based on his comments alone, I would not care to do business with his shop. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif)

I'm glad you asked, I was wondering the same Q... I stored my car in the garage until I got the time/money to work on it... and now I'm paranoid as hell!! should I replace the lines too or would the amount of gas in them hurt anything if the lines are in good shape?
I also agree about Otto's in regards to Miles thread... I don't intend to do business with the shop... they are there with partwerks and AA now! |
