Jim, just take the tank off , disconect it and dump it examin it , air
nossle it dry, and blast it , por 15 it, will look and work for just right if
there isnt any electrolisiss on it. Put your clean tank back on and call it
good. Jim, also from Portland, owner of 8 1960 imperials since 1974.

Jim....the hardest part is crawling under the
car...it's a simple Allen head plug. I forget what size but it's pretty
easy to get out.

Subject: IML: Gas Tank Drain
Hi All -
Just finished moving my '60 out of the barn to
ready it for it's move back home this coming weekend. A friend has a
tilt bed truck (wrecker) and we'll be using it to transport the car the 40
miles back to Portland. However I will need to move it from the
street to the garage once it's home. SO I'll will try to get it running on
Thurs or Fri.
What I want to do is drain the 12 year old gas
from the tank and replace it with fresh. The FSM talks about draining
the tank, but doesn't mention how to open the drain on the bottom of the
tank. Can anyone give me some pointers on how to open the drain
without screwing it up?
Thanks in advance -
Jim in
