my tank looks old

[crib-y-mor]

Hi all had my fronty a week now & started to look a bit deeper for things that need doing , I've noticed that the fuel tank is looking tired and would maybe need changing soon to avoid problems when its to cold to work outside so is there any aftermarket tanks that come recomended or do I just stick to standard stuff its a 1997 swb 2ltr sport
thanks crib-y-mor

Its best just cleaning it out, as its made of plastic, then cleaning the metal carrier up.

I thank you for your very fast reply and so does her who must be obeyed ( controler of the money ), I didn't realise it is plastic must just be the mud layer that made the crackinng type noise when I gave it a prod so a pressure wash it is then , is there any places to avoid with the washer while its out or can I blast away at will
thanks crib-y-mor

I did mine at the weekend, I personally wouldn't pressure wash it but would use a stiff brush and soapy water. I went over mine with a wire brush as the mud was dry. There is an electrical connecter on the top to be aware of.

No probs,

Blast away but just be careful of the pipes at the top of the tank they can be fradgile but all the underside go for it

Don't people do things gently anymore

My car has gone beyond gentle

The connector will be the earth wire

Thought it was the sender unit wires
