i have an issue with my tank being full of tar from sitting about 20 years without being drained. i put new points plugs wires and rebuilt the carb and temp rigged the factory electric pump under the hood pulling from a gas can. runs like a top but engine smokes assuming from sitting and rings probably being stuck. it got better the more is ran so hopefully itll fix itself. i added half a gallon of alcohol and about a gallon and a half of gas to the tank hook the pump back up and wouldnt pull fuel. i dipped the tank and found it full of runny tar. i assume it was probably hard until i put the alcohol in it to sit for a few days and now it is runny.

so my question is does anyone have an oldschool remedy to this other than stripping and recoating the tank? i also needed to know if it has a sock strainer attached to the sending unit as im sure it is no good either and were to buy one at. i checked local parts stores and noone has one listed as applicable part.

thanks for the help in advance

Take the tank out.Pull out the sending unit.Fill it with diesel fuel or carb cleaner and let it soak.

Let it soak in mineral spirits.
