Title: Rubber Fuel Bladder For Rusty Gas Tank?
Post by: 86FJNJ on April 03, 2025, 11:43:37 AM
Has anyone explored inserting a rubberized flexible fuel bladder inside their rusty FJ gas tank? I know there are companies that make bladder systems for boats and other vehicles but so far most of what I see is larger, I don't see anything smaller in the 2-5 gallon range.

But if there was a small bladder that could fit into the FJ tank and hook up the petcock and gas cap I wonder if that may be a solution.

For what it's worth I also called a local radiator shop and they said they could clean the inside of the tank and reseal it like new but the process would harm the exterior paint job so I should anticipate to have to get the tank repainted after resealing.
