Re: fuel tanks

hillboy,<br /><br />JB is right, those twin hose (pressure) tanks can be had on e bay from time to time.<br /><br />I've cleaned some old tanks by rolling BB's around in them. However, you will always fight the rust.

Re: fuel tanks

Yep,<br />I've done the Cleaning Thing before......<br />I used a Handful of Nuts,+ Bolts....(I think the Edges help) Along with a 1/2gal. of Kerosene.... Lots of Shake, Rattle,+ Rolling......<br />A Ton of Work, But It Does Work.......
