A little update. I was able to unload this SA-200 from my truck, which
was not exactly trivial. It now sits on a cart and I can move it
around, though it is not that easy.

One helluva cart, I imagine.

Nothing special, just a wood cart from McMaster-Carr.

"Just a wood cart" supports a 1,300 pound object and allows you to
move it around? g


Are you going to remove the tank and flush it, or has it never been
allowed to lacquer up? My old SA-300 that I sold had a replacement
stainless tank which had been sitting so long, it needed flushing. But
since the engine was frozen solid, I decided to let a future owner
handle it.

I do not know yet, I will try to get the engine to run and then I will
see..

Assuming that 10 gallons of fuel dries out in the tank, what is the
best way to disslove all that crud?

I don't have any experience with that. We'd replace the tank at the
body shop. From what I've read over the years, there are solutions
you can put in the tank to dissolve crud, then they're flushed and
steamcleaned, then dried and a sealant is poured in. Once it cures,
the tank is good for another 100 years.

Woke 'em up and quickly sneaked inside, eh? BTDT.

HAHA

It's literally impossible to do any work at night and not rile the
neighbors...unless you're on 50,000-acre lots in very rural areas.
