New project: 1976 Cosmo RX-5

[djmtsu]

Worked on a few things yesterday, mostly involving cleaning the fuel system.

The tank had about 5-6 gallons of fuel in it......from 1999......

Filler neck, gas cap, and inside of the tank were all very crusty looking. So, I had some Evapo-Rust I had been playing with for a while for smaller parts, and it worked well.

Soaked the filler neck, cap and fuel level sender in it overnight. All came out minty clean and looking brand new. This stuff works awesome. It is expensive though, put I went ahead and ordered a 5 gallon bucket for the tank. All sealed up, I dumped 5 gallons into it, and have started the process of soaking/rotating/soaking/rotating. Sunday I will dump out the Evapo-Rust through a strainer, and then dump it back in and repeat the process.

Seriously, this stuff works. Adler and Charles were amazed when they saw the results of the filler neck.

Some other bonuses of it:
-no odor
-biodegradable
-non-toxic
-reusable (as it gets older, it just takes longer).

Other things done:
-new motor mounts installed
-new trans seals installed
-new clutch installed
