Old Gas Tank Advice
I pull a fair number of cars out of long term storage. I've learned the hard way that the little rust gremlins like to get into the fuel system from old tanks and make good engines run bad. I've started stripping them by chemical dipping. It strips everything off and out of the tank. My mechanic seems to think that it just needs to be rinsed with gas then filled and used.
It seems to me that it should be lined or treated somehow since I'm thinking the raw metal would rust real fast. Even in a closed tank with a 1/2 tank of gas. Any gas tank gurus out there with credible info. I thank you in advance Rick CaliforniaPorscheS.com |

Not a guru, and not credible, but I use a por-15 gas tank kit on all my tanks.

Looks interesting. You mean it actually removes surface rust??
Thanks BK I assume you still drop the tank and swish and rinse, right? |
