water in the fuel causing rust, usually.
some like to coat them.. i've seen mixed results with coatings and this new gas.
I like cleaning them with a rust converting or eating treatment.. like clr or similar.. then.. keep her full. less air space.. less condensation..

Please allow me to tag into this question. I see this issue being repeated over and over across the years on this forum, as I have for the last two weeks read and tried to "catch up" on all the years TBN has had these discussions on tractor problems going on. Seems like this is a MAJOR recurring issue for many people across the country. I don't know if it should be a new thread or not, but to try to start from scratch and ignore all the comments and detective work which got us to this point in the discussion would be a shame. Could you say something about the issue of scale or other trash in the tank, what causes it, and what can be the results. What can be done about it? I have heard differing opinions about coatings, replacing with new tanks, etc. What is the best route to go, considering some makes' vintage tanks are more or less unavailable than others? This issue really causes people to lose alot of productive time, I'm afraid, and we need advice to put it behind us once and for all. I have dealt with this myself, and still do. Thanks for any experienced ideas.
