<x-charset iso-8859-1>I followed a similar procedure to Robb... but I used the Tank sealing POR-15 product to finish out the job, and mine is spotless inside. A completely re-finished tank for under 20 bucks in my case. I've put a few more miles on mine than Robb has on his tank, and I have the same type of no trouble results he does.

The best is probably to take it to a radiator shop and have it done. I think everybody has a different way of cleaning the tanks, but I don't really have the facility to do much. Here is what worked for me: Remove the tank. > > I used several cans of b12 (not the spray can, but the type you can pour out). I put some in the tank and swished it around a specific area for a while and poured it out. I concentrated on a specific corner for example until it ran clean. It did take some time this way, but I have had no problems in 3500 miles. Be sure and get the top of the tank too, as rust up there can loosen up when you fill the tank. Also clean out the fuel sender as stuff can accumulate inside it. There is one small bolt on the bottom to get it apart. > > My tank does not look spotless on the inside, but with patience it will get the loose stuff off and you will be in business. > > Robb > > ------------------------------------------------ > To unsubscribe, E-mail to: <type3-off@vwtype3.org> > For more help, see http://vwtype3.org/list/ > ------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe, E-mail to: <type3-off@vwtype3.org> For more help, see http://vwtype3.org/list/ </x-charset>
