I couldnt pull any gas so i pulled the sending unit out and found a mess! Rust and junk had clogged the line through a tear in the sock. What are the suggestions as to how i should clean/ seal the tank??Any help would be great totally frustrated

Re: gas tank issue

Depending on how long you've had the tank, it may have enough corrosion inside to leak on you at a later date. I replace mine this last summer for pinhole leaks on the bottowm that were hard to detect. I could smell the gas but couldn't see any fuel leaking.

I highly recommend replacing if it's the orginal and is as bad as you describe.
Here's where I got mine. Good price, good fit and made in Canada.
