Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
Put a gallon of MEK in the old gas tank on Saturday afternoon to soak & try to get rid of the 3" of black nastyness in the bottom.
Drained it out today and hit the inside of the tank with a pressure washer. Followed that with some alcohol to dry it out.
Looks like it all came out!
Inside looks pretty decent. A little bit of surface rust- but overall not bad for an original tank- I think i'm gonna try and run it.
Going to wirebrush some spots on the outside and bottom then hit it with rustoleum and re-install.
Tank will eventually get replaced with an under the bed unit- but for now I just wanted to get it clean enough to run the truck and get it on the road again.
