Found this post while working on my 72 f 250 gas tank under the bed my sending unit is corroded with black crap and I have surface rust in the tank I flushed it with a hose to get all the flakes out. Does any one think this is okay to re use or will it go to **** on me???

Fuel tanks are very cheap from the junkyard, I just paid $25 for mine. It's not worth taking the chance with a contaminated fuel system.

All the fuel tanks in my area have a hole punched and drained, on the sending unit I replaced one on the 68 CS for $53 from Ford 8 months ago.
