I have had this car now for a couple weeks its in great condition with no rust and only 40000 miles the car sat for almost 19 years so i put on a new carb, chrome valve cover dress up kit,plugs,wires, and ofcourse new battery and cables... now for the gas tank, car had prol a half tank of gas i thought i had it all flushed out and i put in an inline filter before carb needless to say the car ran great for about 3 miles :bananaman then it died so yep i had to take the carb apart and clean it out then i dropped the gas tank(yeah i know should of done that in the first place) well the tank is digusting and so is the sending unit and i was wondering if anyone knows if there is sumthing i can clean it out with or where i can get a new sending unit from?
Welcome to the board. I believe Eastwood sells some stuff for cleaning a gas tank. I've never tried it. Might type in what you need in the search feature and see if it's been discussed before.
Take your tank to a radiator shop and have it boiled out. They can probably seal it up as well. You can get a new fuel sender from Auto Krafters.
i was tryin to get pics up but idk how the only place i could upload a pic was under my name on the side thing
i've used the eastwood stuff on motorcycle tanks before, works awesome. cleans, etches, then seals. a car tank could be awkward, definately need an extra pair of hands.
im havind problems even finding a radiator shop around her who will even flush is there is no leaks just real nasty
Remove the sender, put a good solvent and some rocks in it, grab a buddy. Tumble it length and width wise. Shimmy/shake it on each side. After 10-15 minutes you should be good to go Oh, and welcome
thanks bob im gonna try it tomorrow i already have it out of the car and i just ordered a sending unit for it so ill see what happens and thanks to everyone else for all ur help i hope one of the ideas works
