by Wyowanderer Wed Jun 08, 2022 5:13 pmI decided to remove the tank Monday night, and I was astonished at the amount of black smelly stuff in it - I poured nearly a gallon of it into a can I use for old motor oil.
I poured three gallons of mineral spirits in it, but it didn't seem to want to thin this cr@p. I emptied the mineral spirits into its container, then emptied the tank into a bucket and let the remainder of the goop drip out overnight. The MS seemed to cut it a LITTLE, but not enough I'll want to use it.
My current plan is to turn it over to a local rad shop and let them tank it out.
Anyone have a better idea short of spending $400 on a replacement? I can def. afford it, I'd just rather put $400 toward window rubber or something, and I'd like to keep the original tank. For that matter, I'd rather send it off and get it professionally remanned.
