On that note, I used POR15 marine clean, followed by POR15 Metal Prep. I did NOT line my tank with any tank liner as I've heard such bad stories about it peeling off. I'd rather just clean my tank every few years until I move it under bed.

It is definitely a band-aid on a gunshot wound, as you say. I'm going to be getting into bodywork on this truck which means the tank will come out, and I'll probably just replace it at that time. Right now, I'm using it as a daily while the weather is still good and wanted to prevent any more harm.

On a different note, I was always under the impression it was bad to add a filter upstream of the pump, due to that being the pressure side? I made sure to use a 3/8" filter (which is oversize for the 5/16" fuel system on the 307) to minimize the restriction
