Near as I can tell my car sat for about 15 years before I bought it. I have not had a working fuel gauge and I am still getting a considerable amount of powdery rust in the fuel filter. I decided to spring for a new fuel tank. The ironic part is the Spectra tank is made here in Canada, yet my buddy with an auto parts store said that his cost was $70 more than ordering from Rock Auto including their $100 shipping charge. Something is wrong with this scenario.
