Subject:Rusty water in gas tank
From:Ed Hinchey

I just put the 89 Wolfsy Weekender on the road for the summer and it choked and caughed and eventually spat blood red (rusty) gasoline when I drained the fuel tank.��I pulled the tank and it is a mess, sludge, rust and solids on the bottom. Can it be saved?� I see new tanks for about $190 at the Busdepot.� Should I just pass it off for scrap or is it worth a thorough cleaning?� From the outside, it looks pretty good, some minor rust around the perimeter seams.

Thanks in advacne for your advice.
