Sorry about that, I get excited about helping and forget that most of
you have been there and done that.
Good reminder to check the tank in my new (old) Pantera

Yep, I know about all that.
I was mostly just letting everyone know that unless you've taken care
of it, you probably have a lot of rust in your tank too.
I was surprised by how much, though.

Works great on garden tools and any other small parts that need

Fill the tank with water and 20% citric acid. Heat it with an
imersion heater thru the hole for the tank sender for about eight
hours. All rust and debris will be gone. After flush it well with
water, let it dry and you are done.
