- In this episode I realised that I have more painting to do. The fuel tank is a mess, so it is time to tidy it up.

Great work! You do some really nice work and I like how you show the process. I'm glad I stumbled on your project... Very inspirational!
Sweet, thanks mate, glad you are enjoying them.
Nice job
I love your passion to the work
with this passion comes the good work automaticly
greetings from Germany
Thanks mate, glad you are enjoying it.
Nice job Jeff. I was surprised by how much rust there was. The reciprocating blade gizmo is a great idea that might save me some time one day thankyou.
I was too! I could see a bit before I started, but it went way further than I was expecting.
No restoring of the inside of the tank? I thought you might use a clean out and reseal kit that are available for restoring the inside of the tank. Most of the times if the outsides are that rust the insides are rusty too.
The inside is pretty good. I worry about those internal sealants coming off in time and going into my engine..
Well done. Think I would have bought a new one since I didn't know saving it was possible.
I will always try saving stuff before buying new ;)
I think purple wheel to remove stoneguard. Will not touch metal, but monsters everything else. I hope you're going to get the inside of the tank professionally stripped, and re-lined with epoxy. When I had it done to my '69 T, there was over 6 kilos of what the shop technically referred to as "shit" in the tank. Now it'll be good for another 40 years! :)
It's not rust in the tank you need to worry about, but shellac, which will loosen with use, and clog your fuel filter(s). I have 3 fuel filters on my mine. :P
Looks like I will need to look into it further.
paint stripper and it comes right off for me :)
I will have to try that next time.
I press the thumbs up before even viewing the video..
Thanks for the splatter effect tip!
Haha, thanks for that. You could always change your mind after watching it ;)
***** Hell no. That fuel tank came out awesome.
Another great job! Can't wait for the Alfa.
I was enjoying every video...subscribed after second movie.
Great job and can't wait for another step with Your Porsche :)
Hope one day will have one like Your in my driveway :/
Glad you are enjoying the vids. Thanks mate.
Chemical paint stripper. Then wash sand and paint
I wonder if the dry ice method used for body deadener would work on the stonegaurd.
I don't think so. I have used it on the sound deadening but the stoneguard, is painted down as opposed to being stuck down in sheets. I would be interested to see.
Not enough videos! One per week is not enough! Do some vids of you doing other stuff too. Btw i need to pull a lot of old bondo off of my 67 chevelle/beaumont would that scrappy device have enough guts to get under and pull it off?
Great vid as usual
rob armstrong dude you have no idea how much work making a video is. Having a full time, doing the work and filming and editing takes up all your free time!
As Raising Junior said, even committing to one video a week it hard work, in amongst my job and renovating my house.
As for the oscillating tool for getting off bondo (bog in Aus ;) ), you could give it a go with a wood blade maybe, but I don't like your chances, unless it is 10mm thick over a large area.
I thought bog was something else in the old dart!
Never has a fuel tank looked so desirable...
Dear Jeff, one question : what do you think about "a paint remove gel" (like v33) to do the cleaning job ?
I am not sure how well paint strippers would work on that stuff. I haven't tried it but because it is so thick, I think it would probably only take off a layer at a time. Then you have to scrape it anyway.
What rust converter did you use?
I just used one from my local auto parts store, but I believe just normal white vinegar does the same job.
Aaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh
You can get a new one for less than $400. I wouldn't even attempt that, not worth it---NEVER scrimp on the fuel system. You always need to know what you have in the fuel system...if not you'll be using a fire extinguisher someday....
The tank was in great condition, just old. No rust, so no issues. Wasting money on 'new' is dumb particularly when worst case is a blocked filter (my ecu would protect lean).
