my gas tank is VERY old, and obviously i need to be able to fill it with gas.

i have no clue what to do. i think it may be filled with water, since the gas guage reads 1/4 tank.
any adivce would help.

also, i have been looking for cv joints, because mine are dead. i have not been able to find them.
if you have any recomendations, let me know.

thanks, matt

I took mine to a radiator shop and they boiled it out for about 80 bucks. I didin't seal the inside, I figure it went this long it can go quite a while again.

Metal Ready at full strength, as per the instructions says it is effective for removing varnish, gunk and rust from gas tanks. Might be a decent way to go if your monetarily challenged.
