A day of dreary rain instead of the promised sunshine so I decided to tackle the fuel starvation problem on my C. I pulled the tank and as expected there is lots of rust and other crud. Any good ideas about getting this stuff out? I thoughtI might throw in a few pounds of clean pea gravel, put on some good rock and roll and shake it. The paint is pretty good so I don't want to send it in to get tanked.

I have read here about extending the inlet upward 1/2" or so which seems to be a good idea except you can never drain the tank should you ever want to. I thought I would stick a piece of 1/4" copper tube into the existing hole. Will this restrict fuel flow too much?

Also the gasket for the sediment bowl is bad. I have some 1/8" sheet neoprene will this stuff work or will the gas attack it?

Thanks, Karl

Hard to say about the effects of gasoline on the neoprene. If you wanted to take the time, you might just take a piece of the neoprene & let it soak in gas for a week or so, see if it appears to soften or break down the edges.

Neoprene is commonly used as a fuel line. I am not sure about its suitablility as gasket material.

Gravel for a fish tank works great. You can even choose a size that will work but not damage the paint.

Just go to NAPA and get new gasket and screen. Take the old along so you get the correct size. Yes a short piece of tube on the thread end of the sediment bulb assy works fine. If you think you need to drain the tank just un-screw it and drain.
