Gas Tank Cleaning

Have you been reading about that guy that takes the things off and straps 'em to a rear tractor tire, puts two or three of handfuls of gravel and drives around the yard? Heck, that just might work.

You shouldn't need any sealer should you? After you are using it and got it full of fuel, there is no way it can rust again. Unless it sets for years and years without being used.

I have a hot tank and a spray wash cabinet, hot tank followed by hot water high pressure washer may clean most of the junk out of the tank. Spray wash cabinet definitely won't do it. My cabinet is big enough to clean a 3406 cat, but I ain't happy with it, good cabinet but I'm used to doing a real cleaning . The last gas tank that came in was a 350U IH
and it was really bad. Cooked it in the tank, hot pressure washed it, customer had one of those
new makita 6 inch thin blade cutters, we took the
top out of the tank and dug out all the trash,
put it in the sand blast cabinet to get all the
rust out of the inside. Then I gas welded the top
back in the tank and put the coating in, so far it
seems to be working .

Just make sure it goes thru the hot tank

before you start cutting on it , I don't want to

hear the boom from here. :-)
