Gas tank has lotsa rust apparently. It was used. Had someone put it in a few
months ago. Guess he didn't do much of a job cleaning it out first. I haven't
driven the bus much until the last few weeks.

The rust clogged my fuel filter which made the fuel pump whine alot. (I
thought the pump was bad and almost replaced that $180 piece of unobtanium.) 
Replaced the fuel filter yesterday. Ran great for several hours. Then the
symptoms returned. 

Pulled the new filter. Rusty particles again. Drained the tank. Probably a cup
of gritty rust particles in the pan. Bet there's more, right? 

   Well, I needed to replace those fore to aft coolant lines anyway.

   So I'm gonna drop the tank. Prefer-to-work-on-Buicks grandpa says drop it,
clean out the rust out and forget it. It'll take years for more rust to build
up. Any thoughts? Is there something I should put in the tank? Sealer of some
sort? None at my FLAPS. Where do I get it?
