stock fuel tank liner job & filter and sending unit
How do I remove the sending unit and pickup filter from a stock tank on a 69 truck? Is there anything to service inside???
The tank is out of truck and I was thinking about a liner job on the tank if it looks at all corroded. the local radiator shops will pickle it out , but they will not do a liner job in case something comes loose. I did an old Jeep tank years ago with 2 motorcycle tank kits,(10 gallon tank) and it has lasted now 20 years without fail. Does anyone have personal experience with this >?????? Thanks |

Re: stock fuel tank liner job & filter and sending unit
the hot tank is a bad idea for a fuel tank. The guy who runs our rad shop at work showed me with an old tank we had when i asked him to do that.
We dropped it in there for 30 min, when it came out, there was still rust inside, but all the solder was gone, which made the filler neck fall off. Dunked it back in for another 30 min, and when it came out, there was still a little rust, but there were holes where some of the seriouse rust was. The way we do it is with a steam cleaner. The heat and pressure will blast the rust off, but leave the metal unharmed. And it does nothing to the solder. It may take 2 or 3 hrs with the wand in there, but the end result is better. |
