Re: Whistle tube clogged

Sometimes I think fuel tank sealer causes more problems than it cures. I did the "ultimate" restoration on a tank from another car. After tank removal, cleaning, painting, sealing, and installation I figured I had the ultimate tank. However the sealant totally plugged the filter on the fuel pickup tube and the car would not run. Rather than cutting the tank apart to fix it I installed an old stock tank that was not sealed. The car has been running fine ever since. The product I got from Eastwood had NO mention of possibly clogging things with sealer. That's the second time I got something from Eastwood (without any warnings or instructions) that caused damage.
