On my previous Packard, a 53 Clipper, I had similar issues. When I bought the car, the tank was full of rust and any fuel filter I installed plugged up within a few miles of operation. Kanter no longer offers replacement tanks, so I went the Renu route. Found a dealer and visited their facility. Turns out this place also rebuilds large truck radiators, so I figured they had the tools & expertise to work on gas tanks. The cost was about equal to a new tank. They sandblasted it in & out and applied their sealer in & out. (Lifetime warranty) I had to install a new guage sender unit since the old one was shot. I had to solder a ground wire to the sender unit since the tank no longer had a good ground when covered in sealant. No more stalling problems & gas guage worked fine! I would recommend Gas Tank Renu.
