I'm working on a 525 Combine that was saved from salvage. The combine was sitting on a wood floor in a hayloft a long time, probably 25-30 years.
I drained the old gas from the fuel tank last summer and got the combine started. It would only run about 10 minutes then shut down, starving for gas.
Over this past winter, I put about two gallons of gas and a bottle of sea-foam in the tank and let it sit. My intention was to loosen and dissolve the crud.
Some crud has broken up, but most of it remains. The tank is baffled and holds 50 gallons, the bottom or floor of the tank is where the crud is.
How do I get this stuff out? Is there a product that dissolves the varnish and crud?
Removing the tank is quite a project and even if removed how would I get this stuff out, not seeing 2/3rds of the tank because of the baffles.
