diy gas tank repair=suicide? 1800 1973

the pick up line in my ES's gas tank is clogged up. i took the tank to a repair shop to be cleaned out and re-coated. told the man at the shop to be aware of the internal filter(in one ear, out the other). i had to take the tank back and even then the problem was not solved. i cant get my money back. i'm tired of dealing with this shop. i don't want to pay another shop to repair the previous one's mistakes(yes, i'm still in denial).

is there some way for me to snake the pick up line without blowing myself to smitherines. i dont care(in fact i'll be glad) if i destroy the internal sock.

i hope i dont sound pesimistic. i have a great love/hate relationship with these cars. its mostly love. man, they're fun.

anyway, enough rambling, thanks,

ryan

tulsa,ok

p.s. i read a message from bob foltz(from volvo sports america) that aftermarket gas tanks might become available in the near future. is there any new news on this story?
