Last year when I got my 1969 Evinrude, it also came with an old tank. It looked really bad so I assumed it was rusty inside and pretty much just left it outside. I was cleaning up a few days ago, and was getting ready to take it to the dump but decided to pour the nasty old gas out and look inside. Well, it looked like new in there! So anyway, I decided to give it a second chance on life and thought I would share.

It looked like this but alot worse.

Did you repaint and put on new decals or just good old fashioned elbow grease? Looks great!


Thanks. I sanded it down...primed and painted. Those decals came from ebay.
 
Very nice, The worst thing for any gas tank is to leave it NOT FULL... Fill them to the brim over storage periods... Add some stabil...
