All the anger and hate just came back!!
And the 'orange brown' stuff is rust particles. It will stick to a magnet..
This is where I had my 'insanity' moment and sold everything!!! Right after replacing the tank bungs at least three times and having the tank in and out at least three times!
You can remove and replace the tank with a little gently prying while leaving the large bung in place (makes it easier later)
But, you have to remove the fuel sender unit first, AND replace it before you completely seat the tank.
NOTE: here is the most imortant parts (after cleaning the tank and replacing it) You must find a fuel proof thread compound. I tried a non-hardening diesel/gas proof TFE paste, teflon tape, hardening fuel fitting sealant, and multipurpose fuel line thread sealant. All from local auto parts places.
NONE WORKED. I still had a leak from the large fitting inner bore. These were all new fitings!
Anyway, be sure to find something that is recommended by Alfa.
