My fuel tank was understandably rusty inside due to the car standing out side for long periods unused before I bought it.
So tank out & stripped, purchased the Frost refurb kit and followed the instructions to a T to end with a nice fresh coating all over the inside of the tank, this was in January 2021. Car was back on the road in Feb this yr & has now covered some 370 miles.
Came home the other day & literally as I pulled up the car stopped, Huco pump very quiet, just got it back in the garage to see hardly any fuel in the filter and only running on about 4 pots due to this. Disconnected the pump fuel lines and it ticked away nicely, so I'm thinking the POR-15 coating has come away from the inside of the tank & blocked both main/reserve outlets / pipes on the sender inside the tank. Tried two spare electric pumps & same issue but also I tried small jerry can sat on the slam panel with a feed straight in the Huco pump but not much better, this I thought would have worked but possibly all three pumps have now sediment of the sealer in them as my fuel filter is between the pump & carbs as factory set up. Has anyone else had any issues like this with POR-15 sealer?
Cheers Damian.
