Need Help fast.

Thank you all for the replies. I decided to press in a short length of pipe in the shutoff that I have now. I called Berts and ordered another shutoff today. The one I have now opens and closes pretty hard so I just figured that I should get a new one. The problem will be the mess I make pulling out the old shutoff to install the new one since all the fuel won't be able to drain. But I'll cross that bridge when I get there.
 
I used evaporust. I'm not sure if it was the right move I just thought I'd try it. It's not completely clean, I'll worry about that when I start to restore the car. I couldn't drive the car 50 foot without the fuel line plugging with rust.
 
Not really mixed results. It did what I expected it to do. I have a thread on here about rust in my fuel tank. Some people told me not to mess with the evaporust and that I should just fix the problem right by sending it off and having it cleaned. Like I said, I will do that eventually but as of right now I just want to get the car running good and enjoy it before the weather turns bad. Also I'm not planning on doing any bodywork right now so I don't want all the paint stripped from the fuel tank.

Drain as much fuel as possible and then jack the side of the car up so the left over fuel will run to the other side.:)
