Old tractors and rusty gas tanks seem to go together. I had rust in my old H that was giving me fits. Plugging up filters. Heres what I did. I removed the sediment bowl from the gas tank and screwed a pipe nipple and hose into the bottom of the tank.PUT OUT MY SMOKE ! AND ALL PILOT LIGHTS! Then I poured in 4 gallons of gas and let it drain thru a filter into a 5 gal can.I reused this gas about 3 times to flush the tank. Before I replaced the sediment bowl i installed a piece of copper tubing 11/2 in long into the top of the sediment bowl inlet that fits into the tank and drilled some 1/16 in holes in the sides of the tube.This stops the big stuff as it settels to the bottom. Once in a while I get out the syphon hose and vacuum the bottom of the tank maybe a half gallon into a filtered container and dump it back in. Did this about 10 hours running time ago and no problems. Oh YA Im really cheap so I even poured the filtered 4 gal. back in. WORKED FOR ME.
