88 Fox poor starting

There are gas tank repair kits. You clean the tank with their cleaner
which is an acid. You mix up their coating which sometimes is an epoxy
coating which you slosh around the inside of the tank. When cured you
now have an epoxy tank that will not rust from the inside.

Store the car in Arizona and it will be less likely to suffer
condensation. Store the car in a climate controlled storage unit and
it will be less likely to suffer. Leave the car in an old wooden
garage with a dirt floor in Ohio and you will have some condensation
issues.

Just FYI, there's an aircooled counterpart to this group (obviously
named rec.autos.makers.vw.aircooled) that might be of more interest to
you and your '67.
