Gas tank update. I blew air up through the gas line fitting, air came out the filler spout. Every thing is good right? A mile or so down the road we sputtered to a stop. We hitched a ride back home' got the truck and pulled the jeep home. This afternoon I found a place that will boil the tank out. We will take it off in the morning and let him do his stuff. Mose

Thanks, I tried blowing air through it with a small air compressor, nothing would blow through. I've got a bigger one though will try it tomorrow. Will let you all know what happens. Mose

I just got a 1950 cj3a, it has been setting in a shed for 8 or 10 years. I got it started and it runs like a champ with a hose running from a 2 gallon gas can to the fuel pump but i can't get gas out of the gas tank. I drained the tank , it had about 3 or 4 gallons of old gas in it. I changed the fuel line. I stuck a piece of wire in the fuel line hole and felt something inside the tank. Is there a filter inside the tank that could be plugged, if so how do I get to it? Thanks Mose

My name is Ron and I live near Flat Rock, Illinois, in Crawford County. I'm officially retired and wanted something to do my close running and squirrel hunting in. When I was 17 or18 years old I had a 48 cj3a and got along well with it. Had a couple cj7's since then but they weren't the same. I found a 1950 cj3a and it followed me home so I decided to feed it and keep it.
