How about the old tow chain in the tank with a few gallons of fuel once you have it out of the car? I always heard that if you remove the float assembly, toss in a big old chain and shake the crap out of the tank it'll clean up the flaky rust. Then dump it all out, flush it good with a solvent, blow some air in to dry it and dump in a quart of good etching primer or rust encapsulator for another shake & dump. Seems like it ought to work, maybe even without the primer?Roger
Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.

Yeah, I thought about that and priced a couple of different sealing kits but the price of fuel cells is reasonable enough that it's almost not worth the work of cleaning up an old tank. You can get a 15 gallon aluminum one with similar dimensions as the Mopar tank and a GM sending unit for about $125-$150. I got a couple more filters; I'll see if it gets any better before I pull the trigger.
I wore a camouflage T-shirt once. The response in the pub was "Oooh, it's a floating head!" .
