A couple days ago I posted a question about a fuel problem on my car in that when first cranked, the car would run fine bu after a couple of minutes the fuel pressure would begin to swing up and down, and eventually drop so low that the car would stall. At first I blamed the suction line to the pump, maybe being clogged, and then maybe the pump failing. Well today I ran the car will a hose in a gas can and it still had the same problem. So, I took the filler neck of the tank for a look inside and saw what looked like a piece of rubber stopping up the return line. So, I drained the tank, and took the line barb off, and presto. a completely plugged return line. Attached thumbnail(s) |

On a related note. I am posting a couple of pics of the inside of my horrible gas tank. What you are looking at is the reamins of tank sealer. several years ago I bought a gas tank restoration kit from Eastwood Company. I used it on my then bad tank, and followed all directions explicitly. I thought it turned out okay, but 7 years on now, the sealer has completely failed and is peeling off in sheets inside the tank. Word to the wise on using these do it yourself home kits. It may work well for someone else, but it didn't for me. See for yourself. Does anyone have a source for new repo tanks????
