So 9 years ago I installed a Transfer flow 46 gal fuel tank, I like it but the paint has fallen off and the tank is showing rust. I thought I pull it off and paint it, well let say it was not as easy to pull and it was to install.
I started with Hand tools move to air tools and lastly the Saw all,
6 Hours to remove. ( did mention that I did this in my not flat drive way) Today writing this I am shore all over and yes I bleed.
So the tank is out and the mounting hardware removed, I am look at the bottom of the truck and there is rust everywhere. I live in the North East.
and they like to use deicer here. I'm thinking what have I gotten myself into here. So I get the Plastic tank back in and the truck is up and running. I have some work to do on the steel tank it going to take time.
So wen it's done, there is still the under body to work on.
What does one do about the rust. 1. do noting, 2. Sand blast,
3. Spray ( Some kind of rust remover or converter) or something else.
and then that work has to be protected. (spray on under body something)
So what to do. Looking for you input. Thanks John
