While I'm replacing the fuel lines on the 74 I thought I'd address the inside of the tank while I have it out. It's rusty but not too awful. The screen was pretty dirty though.
I'm leaning towards the POR15 system but have a few questions. What's the best way to seal the tank while I'm stirring all of the solutions around inside? It's looking like a pretty good upper body workout and I would hate to interrupt the fun with leaking solvent. Open for suggestions of other products. Cheers!  |

Keep your tank full of real gas. For winter storage fill it, add sta-bil and run it till it's through the system. If you can't get real gas locally I'd try to get enough (two 5 gallan cans) for winter storage, drain the old gas and then add the real gas.
I've never seen a liner product that I would put in my tank. I've actually had to replace a tank in a bug due to liner failure, pretty sure it was POR15 the chap used. |
