I am going to try the Acid myself. If that doesnt work, I'll take it to the Rad shop. I don't think its rust. Car sat for 5 years with some gas in it. Thanks for the input.

Well I finally got around to pulling the tank out yesterday. It turns out the supply and pickup tube is fine. The return line is clogged solid. I guess this is causing the supply hose to slam shut from being air locked. The tank is pretty bad inside, I may need another tank. Anyone have a tank for 1978 Z laying around?

I am trying to figure something out so a person could fix a common problem with little effort. Fastwoman, I am not sure how I could modify the sender to do this. I am thinking more in line with what chaztg says about going in through the drain opening and using an in line filter. I was actually going to break or disconnect the pickup tube off the inside of the fuel outlet and make a new tube that sits just above the tank bottom, so it didnt suck in dirt. What do you think?

Thanks for the input. I just hate that I have to drop the tank at this point. Was wondering if this would be possible as a quick fix(cheating I guess) I may tru to get a piece of plastic fuel line in there just to try. There arwe a lot of tanks out there that have this issue and the tanks are good other than the friigin pick up tube being bad.

Can a copper or other type of tubing be slipped inside the original line to repair the rusted pickup tube. I have a 78 280 that has no fuel pressure 1/2 tank or less. It has pressure, just no fuel. Has anyone ever tried this before? Thanks

Thanx, Steve

I have a 76 280 (7/76)and just aquired a set of used tail lights for it. My car has the small harness connectors and the new lights have the large connectors. What years were different and what is my best option? Thanks in advance.
