Working on getting the ‘54 Chevy running. The Rochester carb was totally gummed up from alcohol gas that had evaporated. Rebuilt the carb and learned that rebuilding an old Carter B&B carb (Mopar) is much easier.
The old gas in the tank stunk like turpentine and was the color and viscosity of varnish. Berryman B-12 has really helped clean that mess.
The fuel pump was totally seized, got a new one. The fuel tank to fuel pump was plugged.
Disconnected the line from the tank. Could not blow air through it. Got Berryman B-12 in the line for a couple of days, then it blew through.
However, the pick up tube in the tank is plugged. Ran a wire down it, no luck. If the B-12 doesn’t open it up soon, I will be pulling the tank - not what I want to do.
Does anyone know if this intake line is just a tube, or does it have a filter on the end? If I pull the tank, I will pull the sending unit and probably replace it. This will give me a 3” opening to really slosh cleaner inside and try the pressure washer.
