I have 2 fuel tanks which have not been used for about 12 years, I decided to clean them out before I install them. When I looked inside the tanks they had the usual rust ,this could be fixed using the POR 15 tank kit. Checked the rh tank fuel outlet it was completely blocked I then spent about an hour trying to unblock the fuel pipe in the tank.No success so I cut the section out of the tank, I use a sharp knife on its side and a hammer to cut a square section out. There was also 2 spot welds to drill out. When I removed the tank fuel pipe there was a plastic filter on the end of the tank pipe. Also the tank pipe was completely blocked. The filter was R.S and I would like to let members know if you use a type of coating in your tank the filter will get blocked. Also if your mini has fuel problems this could be worth looking at. I wont fit a filter. I will replace the fuel pipe which will allow me to rod it out if I have to. Anyone had this problem ? Remember you cannot reach this plastic filter to renew. |
