How about the inside of the tank Ron? I know the outside is important, but
the inside even more so. If you haven't yet, take the sending unit out and
take a good look inside. As others have mentioned, all kinds of stuff makes
their way inside. If you have rust problems, POR makes some stuff you just
pour in, swish it around to coat everything, and you're done. It seals
everything so as not to contaminate your fuel supply.

Subject: [Chevelle-list] Gas tank ...
Hey guys... I pulled my tank and dumped the old gas out, and thought I'd
clean it up a big...
The pic shows the tank after I cleaned up a bit over half of one side...
just water and a scotchbrite sponge.
After I took these I used a soft abrasive disk on my die grinder and
cleaned up the crap on the filler neck and the
few spots where the undercoating had gotten 'stringed' across... I may go
ahead and hit the entire tank with the pad...
I was planning on just painting it black before I put it back in... any
other suggestions?? There is NO rust on the tank
at all... I'd thought of POR, but that may be overkill... I don't ever
intend for the car to see the rain... it'll only be driven
every couple of weeks, etc... Any suggestions?
Ron
