Expected the o-rings in the disconnect to need replacing, but this was something else. They were stuck in there like you wouldn't believe.

Fuel line was just as bad, if not worse.

Hard to match up sizes when this is all you're left with. Good thing for forums!

First thing I see when I open the gas cap. I can tell this is gonna be bad.

Damn, even the canopy bolts are bad. Not a good sign.

First glimpse into the tank. For one brief second I got excited as this was just surface rust and not really a big deal.

Oh awesome, the entire pump is covered in sludge. Let's see what's inside the tank...

Close-up of the pump. Isn't she beautiful?

Oh, so the tank WAS filled with Satan's Piss. Glad that's confirmed.

Does anyone know what this grey stuff is that is costing the tank? It's probably something like Kreem, but I'm wondering if the muriatic acid bath with get rid of it...

Phosphoric acid is supposed to etch the raw steel less than muriatic acid. Due to chemistry that I certainly don't understand, there is less likelihood of flash rust after draining.

Cork up the supply line hole. Used generic rubber stopper from Home Depot. Does this look like it will hold water to you? Well it shouldn't, because it didn't!

Don't forget to stop up the crossovers. I chose to use the OEM hose. I also chose to not use hose clamps because I am a moron. More on this later...

Protect the tank from splashes.

Oh damn. I cannot believe I didn't use hose clamps. I noticed the tank was leaking from the crossover pipes and had to scramble for a solution. Zip-ties to the rescue!

Safety Third! But seriously, this crap burns so wear nitrile gloves!

Maybe throw on some safety glasses if you care about seeing stuff.

Oh what a surprise! Another leak! This one was slow enough that I just left it.

Just figured I'd include a picture of the canopy gasket so that we can all laugh and lament about what a shit show this is going to be.

The fluid isn't reaching the top of the tank, but I'm working on a solution.

Protect the tank from splashes for obvious reasons.

Still a few spots but otherwise looking fairly good.

Don't forget the crossovers! I opted to use the OEM crossover tube and opted not to use hose clamps because I'm an idiot. More on this later...

Oh look, another leak. Why am I not surprised. This one was slow enough that I just left it.

Stop up that pesky fuel supply line hole. Does that look like it will hold water? No? Well you're right! It didnt,.
