Well one of the neighbors friends came up with this one for smaller tanks, and it sounds like -I guess it will work. With the tank out of the tractor- wedge it in an old style drum type cement mixer- Hold on a minute. This is going to work like a rock tumbler. Put a few hands full of sand in the tank and about 1/4 full of water. Wedge it in real well and SLOW speed mix the unit. I have cleaned chiansaw tanks and kerosene lamps with sand and water. Did a metal gas can this spring; it works very well. Wash clean and let dry in hot sun. Coat with tank sealer.
Now go back and read this again and stop laughing> It makes sense and Like I said it does work with the small tanks. If you can secure the tank good and tight in the drum of the mixer it should clean it with the sand as a scrub agent.
Give it a try. Jeffcat
