help in chattanooga, tn
I'm reaching out for some help. I have a 29 model a that I need to pull the gas tank so I can clean, treat, and seal. The car has been sitting with some gas in the tank since the mid-90s. I've heard of using white vinegar to clean the metal, but I still want to coat the inside. Is anyone in the Chattanooga area that can give me hand to remove the tank? I currently live in Knoxville and if you like you can ride down with me.
Thanks in advance guys! |

Re: help in chattanooga, tn
Nine (9) hours and no response?
Usually after one Forum response, appears the Forum ice is broken. Maybe call MAFCA for a TN Model A Club. Hope someone can assist ..... always met lots of good people from TN. |

Re: help in chattanooga, tn
Chattanooga is kinda slim now on Model-A folks. Bill Underwood told me he is beyond covered up and has throttled back. The late David Moore would have been the perfect person. There's the Smokey Mtn Model-A club in Knox, and there are a couple of guys down in Loudon area, but they are probably like everyone else and extremely busy with 'life'. I wonder if you would be better off to get the car back to Knoxville and then see if someone like Vic Varady could put the word out.

Re: help in chattanooga, tn
I've got a 29 now that the tank was filled up before parking it in 1965! tried Acetone and that kind of worked but the fumes are not nice, started putting a couple gals of E-85 gas (if you want to call it that) shook the car as hard as i could, stuck an air hose in the tank and bubbled it and, drained it out the bottom had to take the valve out the bottom and install a hose to it so i could blow air backward to open the hose up before draining it,did that once a day for about a week, pretty much took care of the problem still have a little more cleaning to do but at least i was able to put gas in and get the motor back running again
Good Luck on how ever you decide to take care of the problem Terry |
