    WOW! I owned a 54 that had the same paint job but it was a v8 with dual exhaust and overdrive. It was a Texas car and when I returned to the northeast, all were amazed with the lack of rust and corrosion it had. It was a 6 volt electrical system with a generator and large white wall tires. Brings back memories.

    I'm following your video now. I wanted to comment about the front drain. It goes into the chassis and collects causing the door pillers to rust out. JBugs has a replacement piller bottom you can order. But, to prevent the water going there in the first place look at my UA-cam video, Classic Steel Volkswagen Sunroof Drain Re route Thanks for your video.

    Great job cleaning that tank, your method should have removed the rust from the sending unit screws on bottom side. To remove them heat the screws spray with Kano and let it cool, then repeat a couple of times. Grab each one with a needle nose vice grip and turn as you also turn with the Philips driver. Worked for me anyway. I used straight vinegar next time I will use your excellent method. Thanks
