I recently purchased a beautiful 1962 Southampton four door. The car
had sat for many years and apparently rust accumulated in the gas tank.
The tank was not leaking, but the inline fuel filter kept clogging up after
drives of less than 100 miles. I removed the tank and took it to a local
radiator shop to be acid vatted and coated. After vatting the tank, many
tiny holes appeared. Do any of you Imperial experts have any
suggestions? Does anyone make reproduction gas tanks? Another used
gas tank would probably be in the same or worse condition (the car is absolutely
rust free and original, except for the paint).
By the way, I live in east Texas.
Thanks,
Richard
