<p class="MsoNormal">I’ve heard, probably on this list, of bungee cording the tank to a rear tractor wheel, jacking up the tractor, and just letting it run for a few hours. When I’ve tried to shake ‘em clean I run out of patience and armstrong way before they
are clean. Haven’t had one to do since hearing about the tractor wheel idea but I plan to do that next time it comes up. Seems like one would have to reattach the tank in a different position to get all sides polished, maybe not if you put enough stuff in
the tank.<o:p></o:p></p>

Not sure if this has been mentioned, but a lot of people in the past have had good success placing nuts and bolts in it and shaking it a few times a day.

<p class="MsoNormal">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. <o:p></o:p></p>
