Last summer I put a BD gas tank in my '84 Bus. Last fall I started going through fuel filters like crazy. I figured it was a some of bad gas because I figured it could not be the tank. After one disaster of a trip to the Footmad music festival, including about 50 break downs and a ritual designed to recycle semi-clogged fuel filters, I decided I'd better drop the tank. Several months later I finally got around to it. Sure enough, the tank has a thin layer of rust along the bottom. The sides are still the gray primer looking color that it was new. Was I supposed to use a gas tank sealer/liner on this thing? Didn't see it in the instructions. The tank looked finished to me? If not, is there some other explanation? Alcohol based gasoline? Bulley-recommended MMO? Any suggestions on how to attack the rust and seal the tank? I think some one mentioned an acid earlier? Any experience with the various brands of tank liners?
