gas tank totally oxidized inside

so im in the home stretch of my sr swap in my 240. but to my surprise i take out the fuel pump assembly and there was no gasket between the lid and the tank itself. my pump, all the walls of the gas tank, and even the wiring to the pump is totally encrusted with brown sandy textured stuff. im pretty sure a whole new gas tank is in need, or is this normal?

Your 240 already hates you for trying to sr swap it. Serves you right.

Someone let your car sit for a long while with no fuel.

It all needs to be replaced. Tank, sender, and pump. Sorry.

+ Fuel pump and lines for sure. Look at the bright side. Get a Walbro, go to a junk yard and see if you can get a gastank. Search the forums....nico,zilvia,240sxforums,TR.... Maybe even look for a 500 dollar parts car to get everything out of.

Not really, rust=iron oxide, but not all oxidation is rust, kinda like how a square is a rectangle but a rectangle is not a square.
