Of course the plan was to get it running fairly cheap and flip it for about $3k
or so. It’s actually pretty nice except for the paint burned off the top. It’s
silver with blue leather, with the leather in great shape.

You said the outlet was near the sump, didn’t you? Any chance you could get an
inspection mirror or a scope in there to see if it’s clogged or clear?
This is where my el cheapo Chinesium USB endoscope really comes in handy.

Dang now why didn’t I think of that. That would be perfect. I had an old one
laying around here but I think I may have thrown it away.
I could not get the music wire past the first bend, it’s too stif. I then
stripped out an individual strand out of a 10ga romex cable and I could get it
FWIW.
For small pipe cleaning, I use a speedometer cable in a variable
speed drill.
FMMV.

I sure wish I would have done all of this before applying the coating. Anyway I
think I’m going to have to squirt some carb cleaner in there and let it soak.
If it’s dried up fuel in the line, if it’s like the other crap I got out of the
tank it can be rock hard. This has got to be the worse
I am trying the music wire now. It is fairly stiff but as soon as it goes it
it’s got a 90 degree turn inside the tank. It seems like I might have made part
of the turn but am hitting a block. It might have made part of the turn but but
the whole thing. I may try a piece of 1 wire in a romex
Gas welding wire, comes in different sizes and is "sort of flexible" which
should work... smooth the end so it doesn't have sharp edges to hang up
going around any bends in the line
Once you get it all the way in.. a little back and forth should break up
the blockage... or, chuck the wire into
At the moment I have poured in the sealed and rotated the tank to coat all
surfaces, after that was done I took the air hose to blow out the 2 lines on
the bottom of the tank. One of them is the vent line that goes to the top of
tank. It passed air fine. The other one which is the fuel return
