gas tanks

[DoubleT]

The first thing I think of is to put some clean crushed gravel in it, then duct tape it to the washing machine during wash day. Ok. So no one ever accused me of having too much sense :o)

I think the idea of the gravel is a good one but I think you should strap the tank on a horse and and send it loose after a hour it should be nice and clean. Good luck [A href='Good luck']Good luck[/a]

I know we've been down this road before but i'm too lazy to look up archives, the gas tank in my 63 landlord is clogging fuel filters after about A month or two. My question is whats the easiest way to remove the crud and avoid it from rusting again. Can you get replacement plastic tanks? Any help would be great. by the way, the 3' boom I mounted on the rear hydro lift(DLC's idea)works great, at idle I can lift the rear of my friends Bolens and tow it around. regards, richp

Motorcycle shops sell a kit for reconditioning rusty tanks. It's a two part process acid for etching th etank clean and a polomer for recoating the tank. I have used them and they work good. I am glad the tank in my 916 is plastic. Mike

Thanks for the compliment on the hoist Rich!You can do better than the 2 above posts...you could buy a non-rusty non -leaking gas tank from me!Or you can put abt 16 -20 nuts and bolts in it with a little kerosene and do the 'shaky thing' dlc
