[DML] Re: fuel tank gummed up

["David Teitelbaum" <jtrealty@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Replace ALL the rubber parts around the pump. If you can't get the
pump going replace it too. Remove all the gas and wipe the tank out
with acetone. Use all appropriate safety precautions. Dispose of all
refuse properly. Once you can get the system running replace the fuel
filter and have the injectors cleaned and tested. You can expect to
rebuild the clutch (if 5-speed) all the brakes and master cylinder,
ALL the coolant hoses and water pump, ALL the vacuum hoses, and a
complete tune-up.
