Re: Rust In Petrol Tank
Another update. So after trying the por15 kit (which wasnt successful) i went back to trying citric acid solution, but using the proper ratio of citric acid to water (1-10) . it does a good job, but then you have to rinse it out and dry the tank as fast as possible . i bought a cheapish heat gun to ...

Re: Window sponge ?
my 1990 has the window sponge. it sits inside the door just below the quarter light ? im not sure what its precise purpose is, but at a guess i can imagine it is to prevent condensation running down and sitting on the beam. as we all know the beam is highly vulnerable to rotting just at that point d...

Re: Rust In Petrol Tank
i might put it back in , who knows, it might keep the crud from building up on the bottom of the tank, although it didn't do a great job last time. Any way , i have filled the tank with a hot citric acid solution and will leave it overnight on the kitchen worktop, as you do :), wife isn't home yet a...

Re: Rust In Petrol Tank
I removed the tank this afternoon. There is a metal gauze cylindrical object rolling around in it. I don't mean the little one attached to the outlet. this one is about 6 inches long and about 1.5 inches in diameter. Is it meant to be attached to something ?

Re: Rust In Petrol Tank
Thank you for your reply's.
I was mentally prepared to hear it would be best to take it out. It also gives me the opportunity to try and fit a high pressure petrol pipe (for future mods) . Thank you for the link also.
