Re: Resurrecting my 56’ Patrician

Just dropped the gas tank and removed the sending unit. Bottom line, this tank was never cleaned and sealed as I was led to believe. The pickup tube is totally blocked, and the tank has seen better days. So, I just ordered a new tank and sending unit from Kanter. Another member suggested this awhile back and I truly believe it is the path to take. Waiting on more parts, meanwhile there is a lot of chrome to polish. The previous owner did have a small piece of copper wire twisted around the sending unit hold down ring, and the other end to a body ground. Is this something I need to re-create? And do I need to paint or treat the exterior of the new tank prior to installation?
Thanks
