Thought I'd tinker on the '68 SC for a bit , so I pulled out the tank and thought that might be a good place to start. It looks ok.......on the outside!

I put a 150w light bulb in the filler hole and tried to get an image of the interior through the gas gauge hole with my free tablet..... YUCK what a mess in there

So I put a bunch of gravel in it and wedged it in my cement mixer with some big rags and ran it for about an hour and that's as far as I got with that today haha.

A question is coming up for you wise guys: Next I cleaned up the fuel gauge sending unit , which cleaned up nicely..........on the OUTSIDE. I put an ohm meter on it and it showed 57 ohms every time whether right side up , upside down , shake it , or bang it , I guess having a reading is good. Before I take it apart should I immerse it in carb cleaner or Varsol or something?

Thanks Don that looks like some good reading , and will probably answer all my questions , by the way do you have any ideas on getting 50 pounds of hardened cement out of a gas tank?
