Well, seems my truck has chosen this for me. My first task will be to flush the fuel tank. The previous owner told me the truck had sat in an older ladies barn for nine years before he purchased it. He also said the motor would seem to not open up like it should, so after some observation I noticed the clear fuel filter would run completely dry from time to time then spurt out chunks of rust and other foriegn material. Anyways don't think this will be a real dificult task to overtake. Only thing is im not sure what to flush the tank out with, read a couple articles about muratic acid, others have said high pressure water hose. Any members here done this and have suggestions on what would be the best method to flush my fuel tank?
