4. either put tractor on jack stands or drive it around field for few minutes in 1st and then in reverse.
5. Flush tank and repeat

If it didn't have a rust hole in the bottom center, I would have considered cleaning it up, but it rusted from the inside out. Plus, a new tank from Auto Metal Direct, whose warehouse is just over an hour north east of me, is only a little over $100. Might as well just start fresh with a clean tank for that price.
