Has anyone had problems with the crap gas destroying the pickup sock on a 1950 gas tank?
Does it have any effect on the tank or whatever the factory coated the inside of the tank with? Thanks
Last summer I used compressed air (with the gas cap removed) to blow back into the tank to make sure the sock was open. The pressure seemed to build, then all of a sudden it blew free, so I don't know if the sock opened up, or if it could have blown off the end of the line? I have a circulating pump and filter that I will use to clean up the tank once the weather warms up. At that time I'll probe inside with my inspection camera. Last summer just after buying the car I had the sender out to replace the float, and what I could see of the tank inside looked nice.
