Advice needed

[jstuart]

A little back ground....My 69 was a daily driver for the PO until the last couple of years, driven only occasionaly there after until I bought it a couple of months ago.

Due to the usual rust in the bottom of the trunk, I ordered the 3 panels from K&K and as soon as they get here I will have a local body shop install them.

Since they will drop the tank I was considering having it cleaned while the body work is being done.  My question is whether or not I should get into this, the car runs like a top and has no fuel delivery issues.

Since fuel was constantly being renewed I'm wondering if I should even worry about it.

What do you think?

Thanks

I suggest that you remove the sending unit and look into the tank to see if there is evidence of rust.  If so, you'll need to address it.  You should also drain the tank, at which point you can remove the large hex plug and inspect the filter that is attached to the plug and projects into the tank.
