healingbear 'Bolter H Joined: Sep 2009 Posts: 433 Northern California	I purchased a SPECTRA PREMIUM GM55A Fuel Tank for my 54 Chevy 3100 ... I received it last Friday... I was going to install it today... I looked inside the tank and saw some water in the bottom of the tank... On the bottom seam there is some flash rust forming... Do I need to be concerned ? Has any one purchased one of these tanks ? Are they supposed to coated and sealed on the inside from the factory ? I did research and found that SPECTRA PREMIUM Fuel Tanks to be the best and being true to the original tanks...

I my case is was an oil coating most likely from the production process. it was blocking the outlet. ...pic... ...pic... ...pic... ..inside tank pic... I just installed a pipe plug in the outlet and poured some solvent in the tank and swashed it around. Cleared the outlet and made sure there was no loose material in the tank. I think the tanks are tested with air. DADS50 YouTube 1950 chevy 3100

Had no problem with Rockauto in exchanging for a replacement...
