[Healeys] 62bt7

[Michael Salter]

Hi Kurt,
Yes there is an inaccessible gauze filter on the end of the pickup pipe
inside the tank.
You have probably got a membrane of sealant acting as a non return valve
which can be a real problem when these products are used in Healey
tanks. Sorry, I can't recommend a solution other than a new tank!!

I restored a 62bt7 about 3 years ago, quick kote was put into the gas
tank and except for rebuilding the fuel pump(original) due to new fuel
addatives, the car has run fine, except as of late, I loose fuel flow
from the tank, I have drained and flushed the tank several times, and
regularly change the fuel filter, installed between the tank and the
pump, but if the car sits for any length of time I get about 5 miles
down the road and loose fuel. Removing the filter and blowing back into
the tank with the gas cap off solves the problem instantly. Is there a
fuel screen inside the tank? Or is the tank not properly vented?   Kurt
