Howdy all
Recently got a 97 LX that’s sat since 2014. PO parked it nearly empty (added 5 gal right before he sold it) as expected there’s some rust. Have a new bracket/pump/sending unit on the way to get it running again- curious what y’all would do about the tank?
I was originally thinking dropping it and treating it with muriatic acid. Concerned about bare metal and rusting after that. I’m WFM and really only go out on the weekends- wouldn’t be uncommon for it to sit for a week with half a tank. Don’t wanna battle flash rust in this situation.
Other option I’m thinking is sending it with a spliced inline filter somewhere easy to access and replacing that until it runs clean.
