In this part I'm removing the fuel / gas tank which will get full restoration, of course. It was a bit challenging as it was never touched before and it was pretty wedged in there. Interestingly, my car came with and infuel secondary pump but someone unplugged it as it probably don't work. I'll put fuel strainer instead when I get to restoration part.

Good job! Thar fuel pressure accumulator seems very crusty...that's going to be all kinds of fun to get out 😁

@RestorationApprentice 3 года назад

Thanks! Yeah... most of this car is like that but I'm accustomed to rust in my eyes and mouse poop in my mouth by now. :D

Well done, agreed getting the tank out is tricky as it’s a tight fit. Getting it back in was harder as you have to get those rubber pipes through the hole in the boot floor. My tank had a few rust pin holes where the straps had made contact with it.

Thanks! I'm already sore, good to hear a workout is waiting for me when I get to getting it back in. :D How did you handle those pin holes? Looks like mine is not leaking for now.

I sent the tank off to be professionally repaired. They brazed some patches on. I didn’t fancy blowing myself up with the welder!

I have 1978 924 and I don't remember removing the transaxle in order to remove the gas tank

@RestorationApprentice 3 года назад

I'm pretty sure there is no way to remove it without removing the transaxle as it's right underneath the gas tank

@TinoKolarides 28 дней назад

just curious, do you have a plan in mind for how to clean the inside? im undecided between so many options, electrolosys, muriatic acid, white vinegar etc etc!

@RestorationApprentice 28 дней назад

it will be in one of my upcoming videos... I was planning on using white vinegar. Just keep in mind you'll have to neutalize it after with baking sode or something like that.

@TinoKolarides 27 дней назад

Yeah vinegar seems like the safest/cheapest option… I’m also looking into the citric acid route too.

Good job! Any reason why you didn't drop the cross member first? Assume you are going to have the tank professionally boiled out to remove all traces of rust and sediment? Be careful of removing the in-tank strainer. Make sure that has plenty of penetrant on it and take it slow and easy.

@RestorationApprentice 3 года назад

Thank you! It's large steel cross member that is fixed to the car. Yeah, we'll see in what kind of state it is inside.

@jeffhammond8969 3 года назад

@@RestorationApprentice ah, got it. For some reason, I was thinking that was removable. On late cars, maybe it is?

@RestorationApprentice 3 года назад

@@jeffhammond8969 I'm not sure, I just know it's not removable on mine.
