Hi, Been a while since I checked in here. Whatever is going on I don't think it's a consistent blockage because of how long it ran after cleaning up the outside of the fuel pick-up, It turned out to be in fine shape overall minus layers of rust on the outside of the outer part of the lines. What was ...

Thanks Petros, It's been a while since I checked in here. My dad and I thought there would be a reason but neither of us had a good idea what it would be. Your idea makes some sense for sure. Maybe that was it. I don't remember right now if that was the section I replaced but since I used rubber ...

Thanks. Credit for that one goes to my dad Still haven't figured the original issue...

Here is the picture from after the rust was removed and it was coated in epoxy.

Well, What ended up happening was I sprayed the pick-up bolts with PB Blaster about every day for a week or so and then they all came out just fine. My dad came for an unexpected but welcome visit and soaked the pick-up in a rust dissolving solution for about three weeks. Yes, Weeks. The directions ...

Whew! That was a lot. At least it sounds like you might have it good to run for now.

I don't have an impact wrench at home so I was on the good old ratchet and breaker pipe. I'll probably have to drill the bolt out at least in part, maybe an easy out will get it, maybe not. Hopefully I can keep the threads of the hole in good shape. I sprayed some PB Blaster in there, figured it ...

Yeah, I've been spraying it with PB Blaster every day. I thought I didn't have any when I started with the fuel tank removal so I used WD-40 but then I remembered there was some in my other car. Might have not broken the 14mm bolt if I had used PB on it but those bolts didn't look rusty even and the ...

I knew the risk of one thing leading to another when I pulled the tank... But those lines really don't look good so good I did anyway.
That makes sense for removing the bolts. I'll use something stronger than Wd-40. Sounds like I might be in for a lot of thinking for the lines. Sigh.
Thank you both!

Well, One of the 14mm bolts snapped off when I had it turned about 3/4 in out. And the lines on top look about to be rusted through. How tricky is it to replace them?Possibly without snapping all those little bolts holding the plate on, that would be convenient. I was wondering how it is sealed ...

I sometimes do better to start replacing parts if they aren't hard or expensive to replace. If I think I have to diagnose a problem first sometimes I won't do a thing because I don't know how to diagnose the problem...
I replaced the thermostat, I don't know where it was made, it did not fix the ...

Thanks Paul, I did spray with WD-40. Not the strongest stuff but better than nothing. The tank protector bolts actually looked in good shape if I remember correctly. There was more rust toward the back of the car than I realized...
I'm thinking then that I'm just going to end up starting to take it ...

Hi, Just finally got to actually looking at removing the fuel tank. Could you clarify if I figured this out correctly? I think the trim and screws for the filler neck are obvious enough but:
