I have an 11 gallon tank on my Diesel tractor. Lately I have been finding bits of rust in my filter. Drained the tank, looked through the pour hole and yup, rust everywhere. Not sure why someone would make a tank without a coating but here I am.....
So, how to fix? The issue is access. I only have 3 holes (the out at the bottom a 1/2" for the outflow of fuel, I have two on the top of the tank, one for the sensor and one for the fill, neither more than 2" across.
Do I drain, wash and dump a bunch of Naval Jelly in the tank? Do I sand blast (no way to get the top). Do I dump a bunch of nuts in it and slosh it around? Or do I just coat it and hope the rust doesn't flake off.
Any ideas would be great. Oh, the tank is very verticle. Maybe 8" wide at the bottom and 4 at the top and 20" or so high.
