Re: [T3] . Anybody have a fuel sending unit?

["nunya" <porkstake@bwave.com>]

My Squareback sat outside for 8 years and was moved to a roofed area for 
another 12. The original fuel tank had a large rust hole in the top of 
the tank and was so varnished both top and bottom that the sending unit 
became unsalvageable. The tank must have weighed 30# more than its 
replacement tank that also was rusted and varnished. That tank was 
salvageable by cleaning with caustic soda (and a careful trip to the car 
wash).  I do not recommend anyone to clean a tank in this manner if you 
do not know proper chemical handling procedures and how to neutralize 
these chemicals. Its your vision, not mine!So I don't tell me about how 
you killed your towns wastewater treatment plant or have started to have 
problems with your septic system after dumping a couple pounds of Sodium 
Hydroxide down the drain!

Keep it safe and keep 'um running!
