Cut to the chase is in underline.
OK. I put 3 of my ATV's in the shop this week for fuel issues. I blamed them on ethanol in general. One fuel tank came back rusty. I'll blame that on ethanol just for the hell of it (since I don't know all of what can rust out a fuel tank on a 5 year old machine).
OK, my tractor. It's been acting up (starving for fuel). I drained the bowl and the diesel is cloudy/murky in the bowl. I have no fuel/water separation in the 24 hour glass bottle test so it's good but dirty fuel. I'm going to have to drain/filter the fuel out of the tank and then clean.
To clean the tank (in place), please advise on your best technique to remove rust or other contaminates. I want to clean, drain then re-fill and be back in business.
TIA.
