I took a clear hose about 1/2 dia. siphoned the bottom of my tank you would might be surpised at the crud it will "vacum" up [Reply]  [No Email]

It ended up being a plastic cap from a 2 1/2 gal jug had gotten dropped in and every once in a while it would get over the pipe and stop the tractor. After I found that and got it out I put a new sediment bowl with the screen on and n o problems since. [Reply]  [No Email]

It took about a week because the battery charger that I have is only 10amps but it worked. Do a web search for cleaning tanks using electrolysis and you should find all the info you need. You can coat it after it is clean or just keep it full of fuel. PS. I also added a screen filter to mine that’s up into the tank, the kind that is used on some models of sediment bowels.

Every time it got cold, the corn silk would go to the bottom of the tank, and you had to walk home. The riser in the bottom of the tank never made any difference. Finally pulled the tank, and went fishing. After that it ran great. [Reply]  [No Email]

If it"s rust and crude, take the tank off and clean out the inside. Alcohol and acetone will remove gunk, clean gravel will knock off all the loose rust. [Reply]  [No Email]
