Default Re: 46 Ford pickup gas tank

An inch is a LOT of rust.... I have strapped old fuel tanks to my rear tractor wheel with bungee cords. Jack up that wheel, put a bunch of bolts and jagged metal chunks inside with a lot of water. Run a couple hours, rinse, repeat. Count the chunks for removal time. Afterwards do the redkoat or other sealer. If one of the repop places make a new tank, that would eliminate a lot of dirty work!
