This winter I plan on removing my stainless steel fuel tank, so this is a good time to clean the inside. I figured I'd take it somewhere that does this sort of thing...steam it out, I thought. The place recommended by my local fuel distributor said he would just use a pressure washer, cold at that, and that I could do that as well as he. Now, maybe he is thinking of a 10,000 gal tank which is somewhat larger than what I'm dealing with. Same principles would apply, but he'd have better access than I will thru the little clean-out hole. Anybody have experience with this ? Any suggestions ? My neighbor does fuel polishing. He sucks the fuel out, filters it, and puts it back under high enough pressure to stir up the crap on the bottom and around and round it goes til his filter no longer picks up anything. Many tanks have little or no access. He cuts a hole and installs an access port or two as necessary. G |
