I agree with some of what you say, but it will take more than a couple of gallons if the tank is in bad shape. The acid I get from Lowes (they no longer sell it by the gallon but a short "gallon" to keep the price for the bottle the same) is about 31% Hydrochloric Acid which is essentially "concentrated HCL". 34% acid is about the maximum concentration possible as per theory and that is so volatile that you would not be able to stay in the same room with an open container of 34% acid. It can be cut with water (equal volumes) to fill the voids and avoid some of the tank manipulations required for using a more concentrated solution of less liquid. Solutions down to 10% are typically used in industry to clean and pickle steel. Added water stimulates the disassociation of the acid into ions that act in dissolving rust and forming iron salts so that the same amount of acid will go a little further if water is added. Properly cleaned a tank that was not leaking does not need a liner if acid was not used in the cleaning process. If I used acid to clean a tank I would include a liner just because the acid will stimulate rust . . . unless the tank will be used for Diesel. A moot point here because his tank was reported to be leaking.

Today's Featured Article - Upgrading an Oliver Super 55 Electrical System - by Dennis Hawkins. My old Oliver Super 55 has been just sitting and rusting for several years now.

If it would just start when I turn the key, then I would use it more often. In addition to a bad case of old age, most of the tractor's original electrical system was simply too unreliable to keep. The main focus of this page is to show how I upgr
