- 1986 Ford Ranger running sluggish, fuel gauge not working. Removed fuel tank to investigate, and found .... yeah!
Ethanol stored in an average fuel tank outcome. ... ... and yes, it had gas in it. ;)
Great looking truck nice interior am restoring a 1990 2.3 ranger thanks for the video
You bet! Glad you got to watch it! Don't forget to subscribe and hit that little bell to let you know when I drop a new video. I'll be having a lot more on this little Ranger upcoming. We are reinstalling the new tank tomorrow

@@dennisclapp7527 you're quite welcome, for whatever I did for you. LOL
25 gallons ... LMAO ... it was 17!!
Sweet little ranger
I've got the same truck in an extra cab ... changed the nasty looking paper element in the fuel reservoir ... now thinking I need to check the tank. Mine also struggles with a slight misfire / rough idle
This one definitely had a misfire until I replaced the tank, the pre pump and the post pump
Put the gas in a clean container and let it sit for a week or two and then filter it off and don't suck up the bottom iron Will all sink so we'll rust gas will clean itself up you can't clean that gas
Afraid to see what the fuel filter looked like
Ordered all new stuff
Does the electric pump take the gas from the top of the available fuel, or is it always the bottom?
Always sucks off the bottom..

"F" Ethanol
for real!
@@rustynutsgarage4099 nothing to do with the ethanol!
@@craigsherwood2185 has everything to do with the ethanol. Ethanol essentially is alcohol, which attracts water, which promotes rust.
@@rustynutsgarage4099 You are wrong. I have an 88 ranger which sat with a half tank of ethanol gas in her for about four years. Ethanol binds with water. My tank was pristine. No rust at all! I pulled the in tank pump to get the sending unit to work. The inside of the tank looked super clean. This ranger has 170,000 miles, mostly run with regular ethanol gas. Try this experiment. Take a cup of denatured alcohol and put a cup of water with it. You will not have two cups. Ethanol does not promote rust! You probably had a hole in the top of the tank for years. There is a product to remove water from fuel lines called dri-gas. It is alcohol.
@@rustynutsgarage4099 ethanol is alcohol! so is methanol!
more old pollution causing inferior quality salvage metal
