This weekend we discovered the float bowls on a friend's BN1 filled with approx. 1/2" of very fine rust, high enough to be blocking the passage into the carbs. The car was restored 7 years ago & the

Some years ago I replaced the fuel tank in my 100 which I purchased from Sports & Classics in Darein, CT. Other than fact that the first tank was damaged in shipping, the final installation went with

The rust powder was so fine that it got thru the filter in the fuel pump & the filter at each carb. I would think that any finer filter would simply plug up & ;stop fuel delivery at some inconvenient

I think there is a bit of a misconception on the filter - if you use the standard clear VW bosch paper fuel filter (sold for like $2 at any NAPA) it will filter out all the rust, even fine particles.

Gary, Was your gas tank brand new, or a good original tank? Because, this sounds like a similar situation that I had some years back. I resurrected a 1954 Jaguar MK 7 and began driving it. It had sat

The tank was new. Unfortunately, he has so far been unable to determine where he bought it. The very fine red powder appears to be rust, although it is hard to be sure. It is extremely fine, like tal

Hi Gary, Steel fuel tanks, to prevent this problem, are made from specially coated steel called "terne steel". I this material, in Healey times, had a coating which was 80% lead making it very danger

Your description of the fine powder being as fine as talcum powder leads me to believe this is old gas residue, not rust from a rusting steel gas tank. You say the tank is about 7 years old. Was the

I did the same thing. The cost of coating the inside was less than a new tank and everything was kept original. Less cost, less hastle, and a great fit. However, my gas gauge now bounces around wild

The car has been used every year since it was restored. It doesn't get used in the winter, but I doubt that it ever has the tank less than half full. I am glad to hear that there is a coating (seala
