Default Re: Erratic problem

Dirty gas tanks don't go away they keep causeing problems. I have had some I drained the fuel,strained it and kept putting it back, straining and draining. It may improve slightly but don't fix the problem. On the tank I have off now that has been soaking for several days with acetone and rolled into differant positions I drain the acetone through a paint filter today and got close to a cup of black particials out. Rinced it with water, dried it out and put the strained acetone back in. Will continue shaking, rolling and drain it again in a few days. It is starting to look good inside. I washed this tank with a very strong industrial detergent and flushed it several times before starting the acetone wash so whatever I'm getting out was not just loose dirt, it's a black carbon looking material.
