Well I decided to pull the tank after finding out there is no filter up front( pump has been moved up front) and seeing very bad fuel lines up front. Good thing I did, the filter sock was shot to say the least. The area under the tank is in fairly good shap with a few spots of rust and alot of dirt and grime. The rust is not structural which is good.
  I am not sure if this is the first time the tank has been out or not. It is amazing what you will find in the area under the tank besides dirt, grime, and rust.(razor blades, paper towels, washer nozzle, snap-on tool, sanding disk, ect. ect.) Suprisingly the inside of the tank is pretty clean. The outside has a few areas of light rust which I will clean up and paint.  So instead of replacing the filter it will be a little more involved. (While your in there syndrome) My plan is to clean the area under the tank with oil eater, and give it a hot water bath, use some mar-hyde to convert the rust and then paint everthing. This will be my first experience trying to git rid of rust and also painting. I hope it turns out good. Stay tuned for updates and pictures as I progress along.

Been awhile but got a little more progress done today. Tapped off all the areas I did not want to paint. Put on a couple coats of paint. As soon as it dries the tank will go back in. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)
