    Gas Tank Rust

    My 1963 Cub Cadet was getting junk in the carb, so a couple years ago I removed the one gallon gas tank, and cleaned it by using a handful of flathead wood screws and a cup of gas. I shook it up for about 10 minutes, and this is what came out. It looked pretty good before I started, and would have never guessed it had this much rust.

    Gas Tank Rust Removal
    by CSPIDY
    Finally got around to addressing the rust in the gas tank of my 28 Tudor.
    the plan is to remove it, fill it with 10 gallons of Evaporust, clean with Por-15 cleaner degreaser, then prep with the Por-15 metal prep, followed with Por-15 paint coating.
    what are your thoughts? I have heard good reports on the Por-15 paint but have some reservations using an internal coating.
    any advise...

    Gas Tank Baffles
    by gdaquilina
    Do the gas tank baffles ever come loose and bang around in the tank? I have a very sharp metallic sound when going over bumps that sounds as if it is coming from the gas tank. I have checked everything that is anywhere near the cowl for looseness and signs of metal on metal contact and have come up empty. Any ideas?

    Gas tank welding
    by pAAt
    Getting ready to weld my tank up. It's been aired out for a few weeks and I did fill with water and rinsed out. It's been drying a few days and should be ok to weld. I drilled the spot welds off the Instrument cluster mounting bracket/wire harness (?? yellow arrow) and have a good one to tack on. I figured I'll dill some 1/4" holes to mig weld back on tank. Any thoughts on doing this and...

    Removing gas "Varnish" from gas tank
    by Jwmckenzie
    Working on cleaning my gas tank. Used Rust911 on the tank and for the most part it is very clean. I have some areas in the bottom of the thank that Rust911 will not remove. I am thinking it is dried up gas, "varnish" in the bottom of the tank.

    Have tried soaking with Lacquer Thinner for a couple of hours without much improvement. Any suggestions for getting it out?

    Gas Tank
    by copgib
    For anyone who has changed out the gas tank in a Model A Coupe, how difficult was it? I am considering it but haven't decided for sure yet. I plan to change it out because the neck where the gas cap attaches to on mine is crushed. Don't know how this happened but it was like that when I got the car. Gas cap will fit but held on by maybe one thread. Hugh

    Anyone have a picture of how the clamps attach on the sides of the tank? Seems like it should be simple but it’s got me stumped....

    Gas Tank Screen Restriction During Refueling
    by Fordfan29
    After years of driving my 29 without the factory screen in the gas tank filler neck, I finally installed one. Now when I refuel, getting that last couple of gallons in the tank is tedious. There is no way to slowly fill the tank with most automatic shutoff nozzles. The factory screen does not let the fuel flow through it fast enough. Has anyone cut the bottom out of the screen & does this...
