I have an H that needed a gas tank & a parts H w/good tank, but it had about 1" of varnish covering the bottom of the tank. I bought 2 gallons of white vinegar & poured it in the tank, which I'd taken off the parts tractor. Left it for about 6 weeks, during which time I'd slosh it around whenever I thought about it. Drained the sludge the other day & washed w/H2O. (Took four washings to get clear water out of it.) You wouldn't believe how clean it got. You can actually see the galvanizing all over the bottom & along the sides. Just thought you all might like to know that it worked for me, as others maight have the same problem. (My $0.02 worth. jal-SD)

Since you brought up the topic of cleaning gas tanks, I would like to ask a follow-on question. The 350U that I bought, sat in a yard for 2 years with no gas cap. That has now been rectified but the tank is full of rust which keeps plugging up my fuel system. Luckily I am geting really good at getting that filter out of the carb and cleaning it. Is there anything I can use to a)clean out the crap in my tank and b)treat the inside of my tank with to stop the rusting? I am thinking there must be some kind of epoxy or something that would be gas proof.

you can get a product called Krem at a motorcycle dealer that will clean etch and coat the inside of your tank. there is a similar product at your autoparts or tractor dealer, but i don't remember the name. check archives if nobody gives you the other name or just get the Krem
