I might make some inquiries to get the tank looked at.
In the mean time I came up with the idea of drilling the top of the tank gauge sender and putting a pickup pipe down into the tank. I joined it at the top with a ruber hose to make the right angle bend, then some more copper pipe over the top of the tank and down to where the orignal outlet is. I blocked off the original and switched the feed over. It drove ok for a bit, then it starved for fuel. I can only guess that the sock filter in the tank is still falling apart and blocking the pipes. Now I have this setup I might try a spare tank in the trunk - try to eliminate all other posibilities before I take the tank out again.
btw I sprayed just inside the filler neck with the hammerite where it had rusted. I dont know why, but I had the idea hammerite was petrol resistant ?
Obviously not !
