Classification: UNCLASSIFIED Caveats: NONE I thought about do it that way Bert. The problem is knowing my experience with VW I will be calling my wife to come and pick me up because a restricted fuel passage due to a large paint flake. For some reason Murphy's Law is always on my side, never fails. It has been a few years before I worked on my bug (retiring from military, moving to new location, waiting for issues branching out from aforementioned issues to die down) and now is the right time.

(UNCLASSIFIED) Hi, Luis, I didn't do anything to my gas tank (a 1970 original) except rinse it out and clean/paint the outside. I figure I'll change the filter in the bottom pretty often for the first few months I'm running. My 1970 police beetle is likewise almost street-ready, after a tortured history of sheet-metal butchery, wrinkled headliners, and being left in the rain with no rear hood or air cleaner for weeks at a time. It took a lawsuit to get it back, and thousands for a new engine and an interior re-do. I discovered American Collectors Insurance that, unlike Hagerty's, doesn't require a secure garage. I got a couple of good recommendations on them, and they were pleasant to deal with. I'm now weighing whether to go with Antique registration or regular. In my state, having Antique plates allows use only to/from "shows or events," but unrestricted use on weekends! But there's no annual renewal charge -- it's one-time only.

Got to take the fuel tank this weekend and give it treatment with chemicals I got from my FLAPS. Cost me $22 for a quart. Is called red-toate (SP). We will see how it works.
