If it's a S4 tank this one was in real nice shape before I had it done.

It just had some old gas in it. Im changing my car over to a carb, so I wanted it clean. Then I went with a fuel cell, now I don't need it.

It like having a new tank but better, it will last without getting crud/rust build up in your injectors.

Electrolysis to remove rust then use a liquid liner to prevent future rust. Very time consuming. I'd go to a local parts yard and pull a rust free S5 fuel tank.

if you read my thread, you'll see that i was having some major issues due to a rusty tank. i replaced it once with a perfect rust free tank and it happened again. it cost me a brand new fuel pump and a huge headache. i never found the cause of the problem but everything has been fine since using the POR kit.
