well, it finally happened.. No fuel to carbs. lots of rust upon removal of fuel filter!. I am faced with two choices once the tank get's removed. I am cautiously considering a tank coating product. I was leaning towards a product called" POR-15.. Then today a friend suggested i take it to a radiator shop to have it boiled. ?? I dont have much confidence in tank coatings. After learning what trouble others have had with these coating. Does alcohol eat away at these coatings? Since thier are fuels today that have up to 10 percent ethanol in them. i certainly would not like that attacking the tank coating.. Having my tank boiled by a radiator shop sounds viable. but i've never heard if anyone that has had it done here. boiling seems to be less harsh than chemical. But is it just as effective? need advice before that tank comes out of my '83 interstate. "knowbuddy"
