Reply to "Icky Rust in Fuel Tank"

guyman (Guest)

Boy., didn't know this was going to be such a hot topic. Well buess what. I got the tank all cleaned out and I put gas in the tank (5 gal) and could not get gas to come up out of the tank. found out the pick up tube had a hole in it and was sucking air...Hummmm what should I do? Well I got a little creative and drilled a hole in the sending unit top between the electical wire connections. Then I used a brass fitting on top and a plastic washer and nut on the bottom.On the under side I strapped a piece of fuel line (stainless)to the sending unit with nylon ties. and then angled it down so it would pick up fuel at the bottom of the tank. It worked great. So my tank is still original and I did not have to drill any holes in the tank. Of course I did all this with the BIG back window out.
