Hello
I had a non-staring problem.
TMF came to the rescue.
I carried out as many electrical checks as I could (within my limited ability).
Everything seemed ok.
I took the petrol tank out of the car.
I removed the fuel sender and the fuel pump holding gadgetry from the top.
The fuel sender is about a year old.
It was VERY rusty.
The float mechanism no longer moved at all.
The fuel pump had dropped / lost its filter.
The underside of the top of the overall pump housing gadgetry was also VERY rusty.
The inside of the tank is spotted with quite a bit of patchy (not all over) rust.
New pump ordered.
I've cleaned and freed up the sender.
It may or may not work.
I'm trying to save money!
GETTING TO THE POINT (FINALLY)...
In the hope that I'm now on my way to fixing the problem (new pump and cleaned-up sender), what's the best solution regarding the rusty (inside) tank?
I've seen threads and posts to links to products that de-grease, de-rust and line the inside of the tank.
POR15 and others.
The products alone look like they'll be c£100.
Plus the hassle (which I quite like)
And disposal of the chemicals.
A new (after market) SPI tank is about £200.
Would a new tank only start to rust as my existing tank has done, over time?
Any thoughts / suggestions / recommendations?
From experience, ideally.
Thanks all
