[QUOTE="6brnorma, post: 86169, member: 5914"] So …… we had two basic questions in this thread……I got a response from my friend a couple days ago and I'll address them one at a time. First the rust in fuel tank question; He says he takes it in three steps. First is to flush…..similar to what we had already suggested here. Second he opens the tank…..he does this by flushing throughly with water and then connecting the exhaust from another machine (running) into the tank and then cutting a 4" X 6" hole in the tank and cleaning by hand and welding the panel back into place. He says a 'needle scaler' does wonders in there but that there is a 4 gallon area of the tank that is impossible to reach. And then the last option is to abandon the fuel tank and mount a new tank somewhere on the body. Personally…..options two and three scare me to death………I don't and I'm sure administrators of this site don't recommend either of them but I do know some one who uses them on a regular basis.
