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)

It seems to me that replacing the fuel lines and relining the tank is one of the first projects we should perform since these are usually 30 years old and do not age well. One of the first posts I read was about rust in the tank and brittle plastic fuel lines. What good would it do to dump $$$$ in the motor and such if we feed it rust or it burns up! I think a decent radiator shop can handle the tank, but for peace of mind I'm going to do it. I"ve seen articles on this forum or PP.
