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)

William,
Good radiator shop in Lowell that will do it...he drilled a hole in mine to access the inside of the tank behind the baffle plate...(specify where you want him to drill, dont let him decide on that point) He cleaned it, vaccuumed all the crap out, dunked it in some seriously caustic stuff. then closed it up and did the por 15 epoxy treatment to the inside. All clean now, clean fuel with no more rust in the filters.... Nice guy, reasonable price... I forget, but I think Lowell Radiator... Not to many left around here that fix them any more, most places just sell you a new one...this guy is old school and quite an amusing place to go check out when you need a ride. Rich |
