cab gas tank
ok I have never had this before so I will ask !!!
I emptied the rotten gas out of my gas tank and it felt like there was a bag of sand in the tank ??? I took the sending unit out to find that there are about a dozen or so square pads in the tank? .Is this to stop the sloshing in the tank ? Never seen this before so I figured I ask . oh and can you get just the filter screen on the end of the pick up tube ? thanks for any replies to this post

Re: cab gas tank
The dealer wont have a fricking clue. There is not suppose to be anything in the tank but gas and the pickup/sending unit. Clean all that s---t out and order a new in tank line screen from golden state part's #9-75sc and you are good to go.
