    1980 FJ45 Not Starting After Rain

    I completely drained the tank with a siphon, and then used a vacuum pump and spent 15 minutes probing the tank bottom trying to get every last drop of fluid out. I think I got it all. Next I added some gas dri and a few gallons of mid Grade unleaded. Next I pulled the fuel line from the carb...

    1980 FJ45 Not Starting After Rain

    I used HDPE plastic sheeting, just wadded up in a ball sitting at the top of the filler neck. There was only about 4 gallons of gas in the tank, I was not driving it or fueling it recently. I don't think it broke down at all or vaused the issue. I believe a fair amount of rainwater got in...

    1980 FJ45 Not Starting After Rain

    I drained the tank, and it looks like it may have had some water. Hard to believe that much could have gotten in as I did have the neck "plugged", but we get some "next level" rain here so I suppose it could have gotten in. Now that tank has been drained, and new fuel added...any other tips...

    1980 FJ45 Not Starting After Rain

    Not sure, I assume it is the original tank, but I am not a Subject matter expert on these vehicles, first one I have owned. I did completely drain the tank dry, and put a few gallons of new clean midgrade fuel in it, still not starting. Could still be some water in the lines I guess.

    1980 FJ45 Not Starting After Rain

    My gas cap was stolen about a month ago. I have been keeping a ball of plastic jammed in the filler neck to keep moisture out, I guess some water got in. The truck does not have the original filler neck, so I cannot find a matching cap to replace it. I have purchased and tried 8 different...

    I can see "fluid" through the sight glass but it's milky, not clear like fuel. Pic attached.

    1980 FJ45 Not Starting After Rain

    I have a 1980 FJ45 with 2F motor. Has been running like a top. We recently just got our first significant rain here in FL, and my truck will no longer start after this rain event. I pulled and cleaned the plugs. It will fire briefly with some starter fluid through the air intake but only for...

    Stolen Gas Cap on FJ45, possible non OEM Filler Neck...seeking advice.

    That looks the closest I have seen. I will take some measurements in the morning and see if I can get a bit more detail. Is that lod something you would be interested in selling?

    Stolen Gas Cap on FJ45, possible non OEM Filler Neck...seeking advice.

    I left it parked on the street for about a week because my house was being painted...and the gas cap went missing during that time. It has not been driven much lately and it's been a month or so since I fueled it last. Just noticed it was missing. I tried a genuine OEM replacement for a 1980...

    Stolen Gas Cap on FJ45, possible non OEM Filler Neck...seeking advice.

    I own a 1980 FJ45, purchased about 6 months ago and work in progress. Recently I noticed my gas cap was missing...I assume it was stolen since I have only fueled it twice since owning it. Anyhow, none of the various OEM and 3rd party replacement caps I have purchased fit. I think the vehicle...
