A COW MAGNET on the steel gas line will cause flakes to pile up there & PLUG the line!! When you remove it, that PILE will flow down & plug up the filter in the top of the Zenith carb!!!
To me, tank sealing crap is SCARY, I always remember when Gene was pulling LOOOONG STRINGY Grey bits of it out of his gas tank, with a wire coat hanger!!
AGAIN, just get out what you can & use the "pencil" filter.
