I'm a new Fordson Dexta owner and a novice around Diesel engines so: can anyone out there advise on what needs to be done to clean out the fuel system from the tank forward esp the tank( accumulated muck from 50 years?). From a previous query: where is the fill level screw on the back axle?

thanks

DG

Dave:
The best way to clean the tank is to remove it, empty as much out as you can,put a short piece of chain (with about 3/8" dia. links) into the tank, shake to dislodge stubborn pieces and lumps, repeat until clean. Go to your local motorcycle dealer and get a gas tank sealing kit, (you will probably loosen rust from the tank that is sealing holes). Follow the directions on the kit. It should be a three part kit, (cleaner, etchant and sealer). Remove the lines, clean with solvent and/or a wire, blow out with compressed air. If still unserviceable replace.
Please clarify the "Fill level screw on the back axle".
