Off to the Paint Shop

Yesterday I loaded the car on the trailer and took her to the body and paint shop.  Reviewed the need for hood repair and a couple of small spots that needed extra attention.  I now get to shop around for single stage Irish Green paint while he takes the car down to bare metal.

​With the car gone, I am now focused on the items I have removed from the car.  I started with the fuel supply.  Upon removing the fuel selector valve, I found a clogged mess.  Surprised the car ran at all.

With that introduction, I took the float out of the tank (top sender) and looked inside the tank.  Looks to have been coated as some point and the coating is coming off.  I took a long screwdriver and with very little pressure could scrape some off.  Photos below.
Looks like I need to find something to chemically remove the coating.  I suspect damage because of ethanol.

After some cleaning, the fuel selector valve looks nice, but I need to buy the soft parts to install.  I guess this all could be worse- it could be rusty but I don't see that kind of an issue here.
