Time to drop the gas tank on the car as we have a gauge that is pegged way past full, this is a common ailment for cars of this age and looks like someone has either replaced the tank or the sender before. We also find some interesting things in the tank and do a bit of rust restoring with Rust Oleum Rust Restorer along with replacing the old rubber fuel lines. It’s a dirty job but very rewarding as we also siphon out 12 gallons of gas and throw into the wife’s Subaru. All the rubber hoses get replaced and this knocks out more scaly rust from the undercarriage of our restoration in California so it will never see another winter again.

Nice video, I'm in the process of doing the same on a 70 cutlass n took a short break to watch this video! Thanks!
Brother, I had to stop at the 10 min. mark and do some introspection. I have a 12 year old son that I need to have out there wrenching on my car with me. (Some times I lack patience.) No joke….thanks for the life lesson! I just purchased a 68 Cutlass "S" and I need to change the sending unit. great video!
Thanks for these videos! I recently inherited my fathers 1971 Cutlass when he passed away, so I'm in the process of restoring it. Gas tank is next on the list!
A good product I found for surface rust is krud kutter works very well with a wire wheel spay on let sit hope to see you try it on further projects
Great video. I just replaced the gas tank in my 72 Nova. I bought some cheap yoga mats to work under my cars. It helps.
