The reason I'm told this '44 H doesn't start is that 20 years ago when it was restored a sealant was put in the rusted tank after it was cleaned. That sealant leaked and clogged the fuel system.
I have a NOS tank I'm going to put on my tractor. I'm told it's never had gas in it. The current tank, although shiney red, looks like crap inside with years old gas that smells like paint thinner. So, I want to pull that tank and check whether the other fuel components are usable. I have a few questions before I do this:
- What do I check the NOS tank for to ensure it's like new?
- How do I drain the fuel prior to tank removal? What do I do with that fuel? (burning or down the drain aren't an option.)
- Any tips or lessons learned from tank removal?
Once the tank is off, what should I check for in the sediment bowl to see if it's usable? Fuel line?
I already plan on pulling the carb and inspecting and cleaning it. (A friend who is familiar with them is helping me)

Originally the company was called the Cleveland Motor Plow Company which began in 1912, then the Cleveland Tractor Company (1917) and finally Cletrac.
