Re: Fuel Tank Crud Cleaning

If you are worried, buy a siphon pump from the local auto parts store and suck the fuel out. You can store that in milk jugs and give it away, that's what I did and my fuel was 10 years old.

Once it's sucked out, you can refill with fresh gasoline or use non-ethanol gasoline and run the truck with that.

My tank was full of flash rust but it had sat for nearly 20 years. I ended up getting the tank "renewed" at a radiator shop, replacing all fuel lines, connections, pump, filter, and having the carb rebuilt. I have only run non-ethanol fuel in it since.
