Re: Checking for rust in fuel tank? Pointy.
Open the filler and look in with a strong light when the fuel level is low. If it looks tusty, drain the tank and look in again.

Re: Checking for rust in fuel tank? Pointy.
Good morning all.
We see a lot of rusty fuel tanks ever since flush fitting fuel caps became the norm, & get plenty of water in the fuel issues. Only last week we had an immaculate curvy in. That had only done 7000 from new. The inside of the tank had more rust than the Titanic! It's sound advice to inspect the inside of the tank regularly, & to drain it annually. Cheers. |
