2carpros,i did the trouble shooting you gave on the jump wire?I saw it spark(jumper wire)but their was not a single noise??Since then i've drained the tank(i'm not able to get it all out)even tried removing the bottom plug and got 5 gallons and 2 on myself?I also removed the gas level unit and see why the gas gauge wasn't working.Its been eaten up by rust and some of the rod is literally gone from the long time it was stored and now i've come across another not good thing!!Since i got the float out i'm able to get my little penlite inside to see inside the tank.Carpros the rust is VERY BAD.The fuel pump is rusted,also the wire leads that power it are too.The little strainer looks as bad!!I put my finger in the tank and touch the top and rust just falls off.Is this tank gonna be worth fixing?Can i get the rust out or it has to be done professionally?I am surprised the car even ran as good as it did for a couple of weeks before stalling out but i was aware of it sitting for almost 2 years!!My daughter says i got her a lemon.I have faith that with the very low miles on it and with the help of 2CARPROS and myself it still has a lot of life left in it??Thanks for your time and advice!!!
