When my Consulier came home, I flushed the aluminum tank repeatedly with kerosene until it flowed out clear. Then I replaced all the fuel lines, fuel filters and fuel pump. I took off the fuel rail and wiped and sprayed the injectors clean. It fired up and has run great but now I have some clogged injectors. I replaced the fuel filter before the pump and I could have used it as a baby rattle with all the rust colored ---- that was inside. The only thing I can think off that would be causing the rust would be the sending unit. Has anyone replaced this?
Does anyone have a part number?
Is there anything I'm missing that would cause the rust?
What steps should I take now?
In 2000 mine had 38K on it and it now has 39K. I know it sat for a long time and I'm sure the fuel was varnished. Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Harold

Do the Consuliers have a dampner on the end of the fuel rail? I've seen those hold a crap load of debris...

Yes, it does. I will swap out the rail but the real problem is where is the rust coming from inside the aluminum tank?

My fuel sender doesnt work either, it is always half full....or half empty.
I am planning on taking it out to see whats wrong, but not until winter.
