Gustav, 1963 VW Double Cab Truck
Fuel Tank
A gallon of gas remaining in the fuel tank since 2015 was drained & I added a gallon of lacquer thinner in the tank to remove the old crap inside. The tank was flushed with several gallons of gas to ensure it was flowing.
A few weeks later when we installed the engine the fuel wasn't flowing. So I pulled the fuel tank filter and found a lot of debris inside the tank. This was flushed-out until it was minimal & a fresh fuel tank filter was installed. This allowed me to drive the truck for the first time & I attended the Spring Festival in March 2019 without issues.
