Re: 53 gas tank

Here is a picture from Keegan's blog showing the line inside the tank.
In that flat section across the bottom after the loop a low or evaporated tank of gas could let varnish, rust or whatever build solid & sounds like what has happened. The carb cleaner is a good start and will help soften things. I have also heard of some putting a piece of flexible cable like a short piece of speedo cable in a drill and "drilling" or turning into the blockage. Haven't tried that myself but sounds like it might help. I would use one of the non flammable carb cleaners though if I tried that.
