I'm working on another project, a 1981 Vanagon Westfalia, but it got me thinking about Robin's Barn Queen. What do you do to clean out long evaporated gasoline sediment from a fuel tank? This "old" westy had been sleeping for 21 yearsand any gasoline has long since vaporized. I expect to see the vent lines completely crystalized, just as Arch did so long ago. What do you expect Robin will find?
I'm guessing that he'll drop both tanks, clean or boil them, replace all soft lines, and use something like Poly-Armour for the hard lines. New fuel pump and carburator will take care of the fuel issues. The electrical side should be much easier.
