there is a type of epoxy sealer that you mix up and pour in your tank to coat it comes as a kit not sure what it's called

Go out to the Bumper to Bumper in Edson and buy a can of Seafoam. Its in a white can with red lettering. Dump some fuel in and add the can of Seafoam........if ya can start up......let run for a couple of minutes let sit overnight......will not harm any lines. Its a fuel conditioner, stabilizer etc.........It should be under ten bucks.
