Junk Yard Tank

[ryan26]

My gas tank was leaking slowly when i got the car, like it was wet around the seam, so i planned on just using it for a while under half a tank, but somehow i ended up getting a hole in the bottom of it and it needed replacing..I could have (should have) gotten a brand new one for $250, but i went for the $25 used wrecking yard one, that turned out to be full of rust..which is extremely hard to get out lol, now i have to keep replacing fuel filters plus my cars running like crap, I have had my tank out of the car, flushed it out with water (bad i know, but id rather water than rust), blown it out with the air hose, wiped it out with a rag, anyone know o anything i can do besides getting another one?

Well I guess I'd try another used tank.

You could try this stuff. I haven't tried it yet, but I have a feeling that I will be when I bring our Midget back to life this winter.

I used this stuff on my 1969 Ford Ranchero's gas tank:

It does work if you follow the directions.... :wink:

I tried a liner kit on an Early Bronco tank years ago. Also followed the directions, etc. The crap came off in the tank a couple years later and clogged everything up worse than before.

I'd look for another tank or just buy the new one. Too much of a hassle to be messing with this job more than twice.

Where are you located?

I'm in Ontario, Canada..I was thinking some kinda coating would work as long as my tank was dry right?then hopefully it'll just seal all the sh** to the tank in itself?

I'd get another junkyard tank and be more selective... alternatively you can have a radiator shop hot tank the current tank to get all the rust out and then have it epoxy painted...
