Old Fart Attempts Rebirth of Garage Queen Gone Bad!, This is the year! Options

[Pat Garvey]

I meant to do this last year, but a lot of health & family things kept it from happening. Those are past history. So, now the process begins of bringing "Fritz" back to life.

For those uniformed, Fritz is my first Porsche. He could still win any concours, except he won't start! Each time I bought another Porsche, Fritz suffered. Nunca mas!

My former 20 year love Bluto is in good hands, and I have no more excuses.

I place this text here for help and experience from those who've done this before.

Number one problem is the fuel system. My tank is so purty from the outside, but gross on the inside - been sitting for 4 years with rotten gas in it.

I bought a "new" tank over the winter, but the PO rattle canned it & it looks like poop. It's a primo tank, just looks like crap.

Now, as soon as my garage temp hits 55 (I have old hands & they don't like cold temps), I'll drain the old tank & see if it's salvagable. If not, I'll have the "new" tank stripped & resprayed. This will be the first step.

So, I have some questions:

1. The car hasn't been started, or attempted. Should I have concerns about the pump? After all, it has old gas in it too.
2. Injectors - should I just change them (since they probably have old gas in them too). I have some new ones ready to go.
3. Anything else I should check in the fuel system, assuming I have a new/restored tank?

I probably should have posted this in the Garage, but I wanted opinions from other wienies first.

Fritz WILL hit the road this summer. Yes, I will get some help from professionals to make it happen. Yes, I will spend some bucks. But.. first, I have to do something on my own - the tank.

Opinions and tech help appreciated.
