it doesn't look like a 6.3 tank. on the car did it hand down 100 mm lower than the tank on your 108? 6.3's have a lot bigger tank,mine is 120 liters . . It's not the outside that is important,it's the inside where the plastic swirl pot gets blocked and the only way to clean them out is to cut the tank open above the swirl pot (look through the sender port to see where it is) . What happens is the swirl pot feed port gets blocked over time and when the tank level drops below half on the gauge,the swirl pot empties and the car stops. Usually in the middle of traffic....😁.Another common blockage happenes in the small return line. The fuel pressure gets pretty high if it blocks up.
Great job John. Before you mount it back make sure you clean the inside as well and change the filter. I find all these steel tank will have much rust on the inside. Use strong rust removing fluid and let it sit for a day or so.
Will do. I think I said in the video my last tank I cleaned I attached to a cement mixer filled it with brass nuts and bolts and spun it for 1/2 hour. It was clean, but the neighbor's weren't happy:)

I was of course going to clean the inside. I may have a local shop do that. As far as the originality? I'm really not sure about that.
