how did you clean out the fuel lines and tank? my car project has been going on for three years, it hasn't been sitting though, it's a work in progress, but dummy here didn't drain the gas, the entire fuel system is brand new including a different pump, but I need to flush the tank

I didn't drain it.. already had some fuel in that was treated with Sta-bil fuel stabilizer. Added some injector cleaner and a few gallons. Hopefully it works

crap i may have to have my tank cleaned, it's in good condition but needs cleaning, i turn the motor once in a while and I don't see anything rusting or corroding or anything, but it lives on ramps in my garage

Right away the alternator belt snapped. Turns out the pulley is seized, need a new one and a belt. Atleast it started...
