I will keep an eye out for that issue. I have been under the car and fuel tank looks like it was replaced at some point. Rather newer than the rest. My though is the fellow that I bought the car from said that his son had drained the tank and maybe changed the fuel lines when they got it from the restorers widow who was a friend of theirs. I am thinking that maybe there is just enough rust that it is filtering the fuel going into the feeder pipe when I accelerate to starve the carb a little and get the jutter. With motorcycles I have recoated the fuel tanks at home. I know that when I first got the car it ran to the gas station fine but my troubles stared after I filled it up. I wonder if I stirred up the rust on the bottom when I filled it. Anyway can't hurt to drain it some. There might beam little water in there also. Just trying to get her to where we can go for a drive and hopefully not be towed home!
