I'd leave it and just use the brass filter that fits into the shutoff valve.

Thumbs up Re: gas tank sealer ????

What Tom says above and I'd try and keep it full as much as possible.
Plus if you can get it burn non-ethenol gas. Cost more but I think my
A's run better with it. In other words: full tank with real gas equals less rust! Just my 0.02 worth.........

I would be sure to use marine StaBil with every fill if you drive the car only occasionally.

So what am I missing? You guys are suggesting he is speaking of the interior of the tank however I am puzzled how he got all of the interior "glass beaded to perfection". Did he cut it open or ??
