    Update:
    I got a junkyard gas tank for $35 and spent about an hour trying to get it fully cleaned out. It had some sediment and gunk in it which concerned me and I still need to slosh a few more gallons through it for it to fully be cleaned.
    I started to pull my tank and did notice when I pulled the fuel pump out that the strainer had fallen off. I'm going to try putting a new strainer on for COTA and run the old tank to see if that at least improves my pickup issues. If I can get the 94/95 tank clean, I'll put it in before Hallett.

    I would dump a heavy dose of techron AND a solvent based fuel cleaner in there before friday practice and bring some extra fuel filters.

    I was blown away buy how much crap my 93 tank shed and for how long.

    I highly recommend adding a fuel pump access door if you are going to have to mess with pumps at the track if you don't already have one.

    +1 for access door. Took me about an hour and 2 beers to do this.

    Access door has already saved me a huge amount of time.
