Rusty fuel tanks

Won't run? Engine, cooling system, fuel pump, carb, clutch, tranny, brakes, etc. The old messages from the NPCA 'Engine & Mechanical' category are here.

Rusty fuel tanks

Post by npca-twickes »

So is there or isn't there a screen on the pick-up tube in a '69 Patrol?  I've got chronic blockage at the pick-up!  What about areplacement tank? I got three Patrol tanks but the're all 35-37yrs old. Does a jeep or a landcruiser tank fit under there? Can a pick-up screen be retrofitted to solve the rust flake issues?          Any advice is appreciated

You can repair those old gas tanks. There is a gas tank sealer kit from Eastwood, go to http://www.eastwood.com/itemdy01.asp?T1 ... p_Key1=spc. I am restoring my '66 and have used many of their products with great results.
