<div dir="ltr">I have a new to me 67 MGB that sat in storage for over 20 years. While the car starts, the fuel is stinky and gods knows what is in the tank. I bought a clean used tank, but it has some surface rust inside. I have heard from the MG group to use vinegar, muriatic acid or other stuff similar to the Healey list. I have used Por-15 products for other applications and would trust them. I have the last two weeks of the year off from work, and plan to clean and install the tank. Have a happy Holiday season and may our cars run sweet and true.<div><br></div><div>Cheers</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br clear="all"><div><div class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr">Ira Erbs<div>Portland,OR</div><div><span style="font-family:'Times New Roman',serif"> _______ _______</span><br style="font-family:'Times New Roman',serif"><span style="font-family:'Times New Roman',serif"> (______ \____1959 BN4____/ _______)</span><br style="font-family:'Times New Roman',serif"><span style="font-family:'Times New Roman',serif"> (_________________________)</span></div><div> BT7 engine and disk brakes</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>1967 MGB <img src="http://www.britishcarspecialists.com/assets/images/MG_emblem.jpg" alt="MG"></div><div><br></div><div><span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:"Helvetica Neue",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px">A racing car is an animal with a thousand adjustments.

I called them because of heavy rust plugging the full pump and carb filter. They were surprised it lasted that long and recommended having it done again. They are now a part of a rather expensive franchise program which has dealers in Florida. However, I would like to flush and seal myself. Has the members of the list have any suggestions? The tank does not leak and is original to the vehicle.<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif""><u></u> <u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Bob Begani<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">BJ8 ‘67<u></u><u></u></span></p></span></div></div><br>______________________________<wbr>_________________<br>
