So, I start the process of replacing my fuel pump today (which has been relocated up front by PO). So I got the tank out and it was starting to look pretty "rusty". So I figured I woul attempt to strip it down and repaint it. I have gotten most of the paint stripped off, but how am i going to get some/all of this surface rust off?
Any good radiator shops in San Ramon area I could drop it off to have someone finish it for me this week? Note: the inside of the tank looks very good....as if someone re-did the tank sometime ago. Attached thumbnail(s)

A question about the "fuel sock". So I pretty much destroyed my sock (which was in bad shape anyways). I've got an order to put together for some 30R9, 9.5 to 8mm adapters and fuel sock
However, I can't seem to get that nut off of the 9.5mm supply pipe. Yes, i have removed it from the tank itself, but is it also supposed to come apart??? The return line pipe that goes into the tank came apart no problem after I removed it from the tank. |

The return line pipe that goes into the tank came apart no problem after I removed it from the tank. Soak it with PB Blaster or something similar. That did the trick for mine. You'll need new washers for that. Test for leaks before you put everything fully back together! I had leaks and gave up on the old supply lines - went with AN fittings. |
