I have a question followed by my short scenario here guys, so I'll give you the run - down. A year ago I was doing some welding on the bed of my truck. Well I never thought to cover the plastic fuel tank. I'm a dumbass. Over the last year, obviously. I've had a ton of dirt fall into the tank and I can obviously tell my injectors have taken a hit, as well as the 3 aeromotive pumps that I've put in it this year, due to contamination. Well I got sick of replacing 400+$ lift pumps and decided on going with 2 cheaper in line pumps (2xWalbro 255lph). I know this isn't fixing my "hole in fuel tank" issue, so I had a buddy who has access to a bunch of scrap steel build me a 39 use-able gallon tank. My question, because I've had a bunch of people tell me differently, is does the tank need to be coated on the inside? I'm tired of replacing fuel system components, and know I'll probably have to pay some attention to an injection pump and probably replace these brand new injectors I put in this year. I just want to make sure my bases are covered when this new tank goes in so I don't have any more issues.
