A few years back, before repro units were available, I had my tank restored with a process called Gas tank Renu. At the same time, I had the fuel filler assembly blasted and powder coated.
Last week, as I went to add fuel for first Summer jaunt, I noticed lots of rust and flaking in the fuel filler neck. I just removed that as I was also concerned if tank sealant had failed. Good news is that the tank sealant remains rock hard. Bad news is that The filler is worse than I first noticed. I will definitely need to clean out some of the crud from that which is now in the tank. I think the fuel cap spring may not have helped the filler neck coating. Is the spring even needed? Attached are photos of filler assembly. I can blast it again, but then what? Should I try having it powder coated again, perhaps it was done poorly last time. Should I instead paint it with an epoxy based paint? Other?   |
