Clean Your Gas Tanks
 

All the junk floating in my gas tank killed 2 fuel pumps. My stock pump and my Walbro. I finally drained it and pulled the gas tank off. There was all sorts of stuff floating around the bottom, along with some electrical tape. I didn't realize that there would be so much junk in there.

Electrical tape, eh :D

I have found a small wad of paper in my clients fuel filter like 10 years ago and that was a 1st gen .

There isn't really anything that can be done about rust in the tank is there? Nothing short of replacing the tank?

someone dropped tape into the tank when putting in a walbro

When i put in my walbro I accidentally dropped one of the wire nuts from the bottom of the pump into the tank and I had to fish that sonumabitch outta there, other than that it was spotless in there.

i think you're supposed to remove the tank from the car first buddy :)
