[T2] [Q] Gas Tank Restoration

[John Sheldon]

Just had my tank replaced on my 74 bus.

The interior screen/filter at tank discharge was creating a problem.  The only way to get to this is by taking out the tank.

Black filter is a clue, too!

It cost me about $1000 (Baltimore area).  Required lowering the engine a little - left trans connected when it was done.

Subject: [T2] [Q] Gas Tank Restoration

Greetings,

Have determined that my gas tank needs attention in the form of being restored (internally) or replaced. Before pulling the tank out, however, am trying to determine if there is a way to treat a gas tank "in place".

One symptom is that I can turn a new fuel filter black in a matter of a few weeks. Must be a good bit of junk in there. That one-or-two tank fulls of ethanol gas surely didn't help.

Thoughts?

David

P.S. Maybe I should buy an inexpensive scope and look inside first?
