THANKS GUYS!!!
I will take the top of the Carburetor off and check the float for leaks as well as blast air thru all passages and all surfaces!!! I'll then re-assemble the Carburetor and test for leaks!!!
I read a tip on leaking Carburetors and it said you should take a silicone gasket seal making material (like the type used in engine assembles!) and coat the Carburetor gasket on both sides with your finger. Let the gasket dry/set overnight and install in your Carb. The tip say's any and all leaks around the gasket area's would be completely gone!!!
What do you think????
I would be really surprised to find that even fine rust powder could get past my fuel filter! The only time contaminants got past it was after it was accidently broken by my wife and was replaced temporarily by a hose coupling! The fuel filter is located on the passenger side of the engine away from all heat sources and with nothing under it in case of leaks. This is a High Performance Fuel Filter that has a clear glass cylinder and a super fine micro-mesh that can be removed, cleaned and re-used!!! But i see your point "John H. Meredith"...
I'll fix the fuel tank problem after the Carburetor's fixed. I know contaminants are coming from the tank, but when this fuel filter is on, it seems to capture everything!! I will keep a close eye on the filter and try and fix the Fuel Tank A.S.A.P.!! I need to have the 55 running to get it fixed (I.E. take to shop), as well as it's our only vechile!!! I Still don't know how i'm going to get the tank clean while it's still attached to the car!! I can't afford to do the "radiator shop, flush and seal" idea or replace the tank at this time. So when i get to the tank how do i flush it?? Do i use diesel fuel or is there a better cleaner or a better way of solving my problem??
Any Idea's??????
By the way, "John H. Meredith" I noticed that you've "posted" almost 2500 times!!! WOW!!, Are you one of this site's ("Inliners International") creator's????
Thanks for all your help and hoping for a solution.....
