Subject: IML: 1962 Gas Tank
Problem
I recently purchased a beautiful 1962 Southampton four door. The car had sat for many
years and apparently rust accumulated in the gas tank. The tank was not
leaking, but the inline fuel filter kept clogging up after drives of less than
100 miles. I removed the tank and took it to a local radiator shop to be
acid vatted and coated. After vatting the tank, many tiny holes
appeared. Do any of you Imperial experts have any suggestions? Does
anyone make reproduction gas tanks? Another used gas tank would probably
be in the same or worse condition (the car is absolutely rust free and
original, except for the paint).
By the way, I live in east Texas.
