Wanted to know if anyone has ever had to get their fuel tank professionally cleaned to get rid of rust

my tank is stuffed but its going to cost to much to buy a new one

i was thinking it could probably be sand blasted then acid dipped but i only know of large factories like ferro-galv that could do it and i dont think they would really be interested

any ideas?

nahh it would be metal coverd with plastic/rubber and galvanised on the inside i think.

You recon it would be galvanised inside

if it was mine wouldnt have rusted

was thinking of getting this done though so it never happens again, but its kinda going overboard

oh its in a cefiro by the way

and as far as i have been told nothing else can really be made to fit it

i hope this isnt true

      If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Before I get to the test day, just to finish off the android head unit. This is a demo from car start up....the standard/host system takes a few seconds to boot (same as all v37) but Android comes up quickly. In this vid I'm using the delivered launcher but have set the default to Agami since which is easier to navigate when if use primarily 5 apps. You can see the host system still takes over when required eg putting it in reverse, and you can switch between Android and not by holding the back button 3 sec. It is pretty responsive (fast) but you can see I had to press harder than expected a couple of times.  I still have the phone connected to the stock system, and that also seamlessly takes over Android music playing. v37-android-demo.mp4 The bigger reason that I put this in though is so that I can use Ecutek directly on the head unit. That gives me a dash with logging (up to 20MB only), high and low value warnings on any parameter etc etc. I've run a USB cable from the Ecutek OBD dongle to a USB input on the unit, easy. v37-ecutek-demo.mp4   The unit did freeze on the launcher the other day, I think Agami was trying to verify the license when it didn't have a data connection...will monitor and report back if there are any other problems but so far I'm very happy with the upgrade.
