Found a sears (although an hour away) that carried a 1-13/16th in socket in 3/4 drive....Got a 3/4in -> 1/2in adapter at Harbor Freight and and old strainer is out.



Doesn't look bad either....

I'm thinking this may be something I don't have to take to a shop to fix.

Whats the best acid product to clean the tank with? The walls look perfect, its just the section around the strainer that has some "slight" rust. Is that section something to do with hard cornering and keeping fuel available?

After clean, any sealer or anything?

I got a few photos to come out ok....You can see not bad at all inside!

So I'm guessing its gonna be new fuel pumps and possibly FPR and/or accumulator. I may junkyard grab those 2 though since they are expensive.





EDIT: Just got some better shots.





I don't see ANY rust at all

I wonder what the hell happened then? Maybe a bad batch of gas nuked the fuel system?
I saw the particles though, so SOMETHING was running through the system!

Hmmm....
