Subject:      fuel tank clogged
Content-type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

I have determined that my fuel tank is clogged with rust or something. Fuel pump works fine, the new filter, but fuel pump makes a lot of noise even on a full tank. It is being starved. I installed my spare fuel pump and no change in symptoms.

So, I need to pull my tank and clean it out and reseal it (the vent lines leak anyway).

Two questions: Who has the best and most complete reseal kit? How hard is it to get the rust out?

I have searched the archives for a good walk-through of the procedures, but no can find.

Your help is, as always, appreciated.
