So as you can see below, that my gas tank was udder TRASH! it was sitting for a long time and rust just ate it all up. Luckly i took the tank into my guy to be de-rusted and sealed. I will post pictures of the finished product when i get it. But in short, the tank was rusted, the guy had to soldier some pinholes that formed on the bottom from the rust removal. he also had to double seal it to ensure that it will never form rust or leak again. this tank was also pressure tested to ensure a good job.
With the tank looking like shit, i went to work on the fuel pump. I figure that a new fuel pump plus parts is just $$$$. So i took my time to tear mine down, de-rust it and clean it up as best as I can. I followed a link on the GSXR forums about cleaning the filter that is located on the bottom of the fuel pump. Overall i am glad with the results as long as they work went i put it back in the tank, if not then i wasted some time and cleaner working on it and will have to order a new one anyways. Here are some pictures of it, and the rust sediment that came out of the bottom.
