[AT] Cub Fuel Tank

[Yahoo Mail]

 At the museum a couple of years ago, the guys brought the cement mixer to the shop and strapped a tank inside (filled with chain and bolts) and let it rip.  Voila!  Clean as a whistle.David M

 If you don’t mind removing the tank you can put large nails and a length small link chain(like decorative chain) and water and shake/slosh.  That always works though it takes many repetitions.  Just used that method on a cub cadet lawnmower tank early last year.   Bright and shiny afterwords. 
I made a tumbler for the Pacers tank to decrease the amount of manual work.  Nice challenge but making the tumbler was way more work.

Carl,
I have been adding gas into the tank to try and loosen some of this stuff up, do until things dry out do not think that sticky stuff will work at this point. May help is it dries out.
ThanksDennis

Dennis,
I can’t see the pictures, however, what you can try is putting a sticky substance, like a wadded up ball of masking tape or duct tape on a stick. Tilt the tank so that all pieces drop to one end. Then use the stick to poke into the tank and pickup the pieces. Change as necessary.
Anything that you can drop into the tank and fish back will work, as long as it’s got some grab power.

See photos below of stuff from Cub gas tank. Need a good way to clean it out. It appears that sometime in it’s past life someone tried to install a gas tank liner that failed and now looks like the pictures.  Most of this came out using a salad tong, but as prices are getting smaller, it is getting less each time I try to grab some. Tried using a “air chugger pump” with limited success. Stuff is too “clumped” to run out of tank bottom outlet. Blowing air into the tank moves the stuff, but does not get it out. Any ideas on how to clean this tank??
