Seem to have an ongoing fuel system problem because of a dirty gas tank.
A couple times a year the car starts loosing power because #1 fuel injector gets clogged. I take it out and notice some orange colored paste that I have to clean out of that injector.
When replacing the fuel filter, there's a lot of rusty looking "sand" that comes out of the old filter.
Recently, the fuel pump died and when installing a new pump, I looked inside the tank with a flashlight and saw piles of fine rusty particles accumulated inside the tank in a few areas.
- If I remove the fuel tank, what is a good way to clean all that crap out?
- Should I look into replacing the tank with a new one instead? Is it the same tank for cars with and without fuel injection? Some places offer a different one for each, and others don't.
Thanks in advance for your thoughts...
