"The crud in the filter is rust - how do I clean and
rust-proof the
inside of
the tank - can it be flushed by someone without
removing?  Or should I
pull
it and flush with rust proofer?"

-I did it two years ago and i still have no problems.
I used the POR-15 gas tank restoration kit. I followed
the detailed instructions. after dumping sealer into
the tank, I would frequently stick an air hose inide
the metal tubes that come out of the top of the tank
and blow out any clogged sealer while the stuff drys
which i did frequently. The stuff drys hard as a rock.
After checking new OEM gastank prices, this
restoration kit was the cheapest way to go for me.
