OK, I goofed a few years back and sold my 550 gallon fuel tank. I'm hoping the current owner (a forum member) sees this thread and says "Sure, you can buy it back... I don't use it anymore."
So, I got a replacement (used) but I let it sit for a couple years empty (goof #2). I went to give it a rinse to get any diesel out of it and heard what sounded like flaking inside. A flashlight inspection confirmed it's rusty (and most likely flaking).
I'm leery about putting gas in it. I figure the smallest particle that gets through any inline filters is enough to cause problems to jets and injectors.
Thoughts? Can it be cleaned (without cutting big holes in it) or should I put it out by the road with a "For Sale" sign or ???
BTW, I do have clean 55 gallon drums as well as 375 gallon IBC totes that I can use instead.
