More 9N stuff. The gas tank has crud in it. I don't know how much but
there is enough to mostly clog the outlet. The old fuel in the tank
just dribbles out. After I get the clog removed and the tank drained
I'm thinking about using a pressure washer to clean the tank insides.
While the tank is in the tractor. I have a 90 degree fitting for my
pressure wand that would allow getting all the insides washed down.
Suggestions? Opinions?
Thanks,

I'd be careful , a tank that old will have thinned/weak spots from rust ...
a wide fan nozzle and if you can , drop the pressure a little . All you
really want to do is knock the loose stuff off .
Greetings Terry,
The lower pressure is probably a good idea and I can do that with the
soap injecting nozzle. I guess if high pressure can blow holes in the
tank maybe the tank is too far gone anyway but I don't feel like
replacing the tank just now, I wanna wait till the weather gets bad.
Thanks,
Eric
