Fair enough.

 

[Trevor loves holden.]

I used vinegar with a handful of 8mm nuts inside of a 10L steel tank for a lawn edger, 3L all it took to shake out all the rust.

Bought mine a week ago did the motor mounts and a service, been on the road since yesterday, got boot struts today, hopefully that fixes the boot not popping open from the lever, and waiting on a 2.5" ebay exhaust from the cat back, I like a bit of noise from my cars but I might just sell it when it arrives because someone i know owns a v6 ve commodore, I don't really like how it sounds under load for some reason and he spent big bucks...

I pulled the fuel tank out of mine only to find it likely has sugar in the tank. If not when you leave a tank to sit for 6 years bad things happen I believe the former happened though as there is crystaline build up on the sender unit.

So new tank, sender unit and pump are required because there's rust all through the tank. I might try and repair the current tank and swap out the sender not sure yet. If I repair the tank I may aswel build a custom swirl pot and weld in some steel line and run an external pump.

Not sure which direction I'll go.

Put some sand or fine gravel in it and shake the sh@t out of it. Get a few mates over and a few beers. Worked on a bike tank.

WE used manual labour and sand or fine gravell.

The issue is the plastic swirl pot it clips into the tank and can't be removed without cutting.
