Fuel Tank Clensing

[Alan Pritchard]

I used to use a sealant, specifically for fuel tanks, kind of like a 2
part epoxy...
Flood the tank and shake it about, leave to go off......
Repseal maybe??
Mind you this was on motor bikes...

OK, we've been rallycrossing the 4kq project for a few events now and
are
still struggling with some fuel tank issues. In the early stages we
removed
and opened up the tank to remove the crudded up filter sock in the tank.
Welded back up great..or so we though. After a heart breaking first
event
pump failure due to a clogged fuel filter we have been dilligent on
watching
our filter status (clear 3/8 filter between tank and pump) and not
running
it if it gets packed up. So after a few events of this we thought we
were
good to go. Nope. After 5 runs yesterday (approx. 4 miles) the filter
was
yet again full of rustscale and debris (insert frustration here).
Besides
swapping over to a fuel cell is there ANY way to clean out the inside of
the
tank to remove rust scale? I have searched for a repro fuel tank for the
car
and found nothing. Our junk yard may yield a 4cyl 4k tank, but it may be
the
same inside.
Im really looking for some tips or ideas on how to get the junk out of
the
tank. Thanks in advance.

Shawn
