Hey everyone,
I just got a 78' Skyhawk and have been trying to get it running.
I dropped the gas tank and it is a total mess. The tank doesn't seem to have any holes upon first inspection, but there is a ton of rust on the inside of the tank. Also the entire sending unit is totally gummed up with a black tar like substance. Also in one of the fuel lines I can see that the gas has gelled up. I am pulling the engine to go through the whole thing, but I am sure there is more issues.
I want to know what my options are. Is it best to try to soak everything and clean it? If that doesn't work what are my other options?
Can I use a tank from any other H-Body? Is there a new tank that is an option? Can I do some type of conversation that will work?
What do I do about my sending unit if it won't come clean? What are some options?
Fuel lines? Options?
