Rusty fel tank band aid
Here's what I ended up doing on the leaky fuel tank sump. Two nights ago I spread JB Weld thickly over the lower portion where the pin hole were. Then today after the JB Weld cured, I first trimmed of the drips and then coated the whole sump with fiberglass. That should hold things together until I drop the tank and coat the inside. I finished re-installing the last of the coolant hoses, air filter box and changed the fuel filter after pumping through a few ounces fuel through the open line. That looked clean and I was using a gas can with the fuel line to the external pump dropped in it. Tomorrow I'm getting a new internal pump (ouch $$$) and should have the fuel system completed tomorrow night. Lastly, I cleaned the interior for the second time. Shampooed the carpets, cleaned the vinyl and put the seats back in after paying close attention the the seat rails. Those were pretty corroded and needed wire brushing and heavy PB Blaster application.
