This one's out of mine, looking to replace because I don't know if I can get it clean enough, hasn't been on the road for some years. What do you do to refurbish, outside work, new sender?

I hit the outside of mine with slipplate, restored it. Inside depends how bad it is rust wise. Mine was just varnish so mineral spirits sloshed around then drained, alcohol to get the min spirits out then sealed it. Worked fine so far. Sending units are a pia. Hopefully yours is good, replacements suck. Save the old lock ring! The pad is the same as roofing felt.

I think mines a replacment tank, it's in great shape other than I don't know what's rolling around the bottom of it. Can you or how do you get them cleaned out, think some just almost automatically replace as a part of restoration of car?
Fake transistor on top.....
There are a few threads on here. Consensus is that it's better to replace... Because of it is really rusted out you'll put a ton of work in and there aren't any guarantees it'll clean out all the crud
Cleaning a fuel tank
Wish I had a scope but might take a peek with an inspection mirror/flashlight thx
If it's as shiny on inside as outside, it's the flushing out I need to figure out, how to do that best, will research some of the threads here, thx
