The fuel tank and the interior of the trunk, or boot, have been finished with urethane paint. The fuel tank was in excellent condition. Evidently the fuel had been drained when it was put in storage...a very good thing. Gasoline tends to "varnish" after a period of time and will cause problems with fuel pumps and carburetors. If you need to store your vehicle for an extended period of time it is best to completely remove fuel from the fuel tank, pump and carburetors.
After the trunk space was painted, the foam seal was applied to the opening in the floor. The fuel tank drain is exposed to the underside of the car through this opening. You will also notice the new battery cable on the right side of the photo that has been routed from the front of the car.
The fuel tank will be mounted on Tuesday. Monday, we will have a busy day installing the engine and transmission. We are prepared.
Love this Healey...
