I have a 100 gallon transfer tank mounted on my truck with an electric pump to fuel my tractors. It is a rectangular shape from TSC and was almost new when I bought it. Apparently it had been used for a month or so to transport gasoline.
Now it has a lot of rust particles in the bottom. It has been increasingly worse to the extent the screen on the pump is getting clogged so it will not pump fuel. The filter sometimes has a rust colored tinge when I change it also.
My question is whether there is a way to stop the rust? Also how is the best way to clean out the accumulated rust? I have thought about putting the truck in a tilted position where the remaining fuel will be in a corner and then somehow pump or vacuum out the rest of the contents. But I wouldn't have any way to make the rest of the rust go down to the corner unless I had a source to pump fuel in there to make it run down.
Any ideas short of just taking the tank out and starting over. Thanks.
