I'm looking at buying an '84 1/2 ton 4x4. The truck is clean inside and out and everything works. My concern is that while the tanks will switch over....the current owner hasn't used the second tank since he's owned it. It's been left on E for the last 5 years while he's just driven around town (only ever using the driver's side tank). At first I thought maybe that was a good thing as there won't be a lot of old nasty gas in the tank. however, now I'm conerned that having been left basically empty for several years that rust inside the tank will have formed and I'll end up clogging fuel filters and such if I fill the thing up and start running both tanks.
Anyone have any thoughts or advice on this? I was probably just going to run it and see what happens, but if anyone can think of any other reasons i should take more precaution, please let me know! Thanks!
