rehabing an old gas tank
I have on old pickup, dodge-200 1962, that someone has added saddle
tanks to. I have not used these tanks so the gas in them is atleast 15yrs old. I have used the main tank for all these years so everything from the main tank through the 3-way switch and to the engine is OK. What is the best way to clean the tanks up so I can use them? The tanks are well-build thick gauge galvizined steel, brass fittings and copper tubing runs to a 3way switch. More details: When I removed the gas cap it has sealed itself with varnish and there was a lot of creamy colored residue inside the filler neck. When I removed the gas line no gas came out. It too was sealed with varnish. I had to poke a hole through the varnish with a wire to get the old gas to run out. The gas is a deep reddish color. Any help or advise would be welcome. Al |
