Thread: Petrol Tank Resto

G'day all,

I'm attempting to restore a tank for my 80 and need some advice. I have researched this and other forums and I have learned a lot but need some more help.
Firstly, I pulled the outlet pipe out and the filter gauze and pipe are intact but crusty and the pipe itself is nearly blocked.
Is there some way of soaking the pipe complete in something to descale it all (perhaps caustic soda, carby cleaner?) or will I have to remove the gauze? If so, can it be done without destroying it?
any advice appreciated,
Dean
