Well it doesn’t have any smoke coming out of the stack at all. I just don’t know when the last time was that it’s been done so I was thinking about doing one on it. Local shop said minimum $500.00 to do an overhead

Did you ever find those pics to post? I’m about to attempt this with my truck.

I just did this to my 1972 A2C. I took my original tank to the radiator shop and after they cleaned it the bottom had more holes in it than Bonnie and clydes car. Luckily about 15 miles from the radiator shot a guy had an A3 tank just laying around and sold it to me. Installing it tomorrow.

I got the tank as clean as possible on my end and now I’m sending it off to Dallas to centennial radiator to finish cleaning and repairing it. Said $250-$325 to clean/repair/permanently line the inside.

The inside had about 3” or more trash in the bottom and the walls are covered in rust. May be rusted through. I’m taking it Tuesday to have it repaired/cleaned/ and lined

I would like to try this method one day on a practice tank if I ever come across a spar but at this moment I have little faith in my mig welding skills on this thin of metal hahaha

Well a little bit of good news on the fuel tank situation. There is a company called centennial radiator in Dallas that will completely clean/fix/and put permanent liner in the tank for around $250.00

I was afraid I was going to have to do some cutting and re-welding

I’ve got a 3200 psi power washer here at home so I may give it a whirl tomorrow

I’ve already got the tank pulled. Was looking up possible ways to clean myself. May try the vinegar and baking soda solution and let it soak for a couple days after power washing as much out as I can first

I’ve been calling around all day to find someone who will clean it out. Nobody in north Texas seems to know anything.

Well I think I have found the issue or at least a good spot to start. My tank pump is turning on and pumping but it may not be supplying enough fuel to the high pressure pump lol. I pulled the tank pump out and it’s gummed up really bad.

The fuel is probably a year old and I topped it off with 5 gallons of fresh diesel. The lift pump in the tank is turning on and pushing good fuel up to the injectors. It cranks good and fast with its two brand new batteries. It is not getting too hot and it’s running at a good temp. It’s just...

I just purchased the local Vietnam veterans of America M35A2 and the thing runs remarkably well but as soon as it gets to operating temp and I kill it I have to use starting fluid to get it to fire off again. As soon as it cools back off to ambient temperature it will fire off on its own again...
