Fuel tank cleaned

Post by TADTOOMUCH »

Had my gasoline tank on starboard side cleaned. Photo shows the crap that was removed.

Port tank looked brand new inside. Now my starboard tank isn't bad either. Not sure why one tank would be worse than the other.
Thanks to Torre Miller from dieselfueldoctor.com for taking on my gasoline tank. I've been fighting this crap in my tank for three years. It all runs great now.

He cleaned it while in place. Used a filtration system that could separate large junk first and 10 micron stuff second. Had a tube he could run down fuel float access hole and then recirculated back into fuel filler hole in deck. Took a couple hours but it's spotless now. He said the stuff is just degraded fuel. Looks like gravel and when you mash it between you fingers it turns to a fine powder.
