You
have more than a stopped up line to deal with. The fuel tank will be
full of sludge, muck, rust and things never before seen on this planet.
The solution is to drain and pull the tank then take it to a radiator shop to be
boiled out and sealed (they make kits to do it yourself though I never
have). You will find a plugged up sock filter on the end of the sending
unit and you will probably need to ream the sending unit pipe out to get all the
ick out of there.
While
your at it this is a good time to have the sending unit rebuilt if it isn't
working properly. The J bolts that hold the tank up are available from
gastanks.com as is the gasket for the sending unit, float and sock filter.
I would cut the old J bolts off with a hacksaw rather than risk breaking the tab
that holds them to the body. Go ahead and replace all the rubber gas line
you can find. Some of the later uni-body cars have a small section of
rubber hose in "frame" under the passenger door that you also want to
replace.
