asyrp43: Get about 3 dozen marble sized stones, remove the tank with about gallon of gas still in there. Put the stones in tank, then roll it around by hand every possible direction for 10 min. Then remove the cap, turn it upside down over a bucket, catch all stones, crap and gas. then flush it couple times. I've cleaned the fuel tank like this twice in 50 plus years on each of my SA and 130. A lot cheaper than liners or spray on protection, that probably wouldn't last 25 years anyhow.

Why change the fuel line, is it broke? Does the sediment bowl shutoff work well? If yes why not just put in a new factory screen in sediment bowl. My Super A has it's original fuel line. the sediment bowl housing has been replaced as it wouldn't shut off.

No point in making a simple task costly, removal of a Super A tank is about a 5 min. job. Putting the stones in is quite quick, sometimes takes a wee bit longer to remove them. Make sure you count them, don't want a stone rolling around in there. It takes me roughly 1.5 hours from start until tank is back on and working. Sure you can use several liner products, but what will you have 20 years down the road with rust between liner and tank wall.

Today's Featured Article - Choosin, Mounting and Using a Bush Hog Type Mower - by Francis Robinson. Looking around at my new neighbors, most of whom are city raised and have recently acquired their first mini-farms of five to fifteen acres and also from reading questions ask at various discussion sites on the web it is frighteningly apparent that a great many guys (and a few gals) are learning by trial and error and mostly error how to use a very dangerous piece of farm equipment. It is also very apparent that these folks are getting a lot of very poor and often very dangerous advice fro ... [Read Article]
