    what about replacing the cap seal ? if no vent problems through the filler neck then the chalk possibly would build up and pass thru the vent tube? Just a thought ?

    Here's a thought. How about taking it to the local machine shop and getting it hot tanked? Repaint the outside of it, and you won't have to worry about getting everything inside coated with whatever you were planning to use. I know there's a baffle in there that might be a pain.

    I get the white chalk stuff too. But, the filter screen in the bottom of the filler neck catches them. I just dump it out before I fill up. Do you guys have the screen in your filler neck?

    I got my tank "hot tanked" almost 3 years ago now. I just had to change my first fuel filter since then last week. I was averaging 1-2 filters a month getting so clogged up the truck would stop.

    I get the "white chalk" as well. Don't know if its from the gas, oxidation of the metal or the rubber filler neck.

    Would any of you know where I could get the screen for my gas filler neck? Mine is missing. Also, I just took my filler neck off and noticed the same chalky material. I sandblasted mine inside and out, painted the inside with black engine paint and recoated the next day. The engine paint is gas and oil resistant and seems to work. I will let you know if the chalk returns.

    Ok I have the same issue. I was going to get it media blasted and powdercoated. I know that will stand up to petroleum solvents. But I do have another issue. My fuel tank needs to be cleaned out. If I get it hot taknked is there anyway to seal the inside. It looks like it would be difficult if not impossible with the baffle in there.
