Mark,

I too, am trying to cleanup my fuel tank on a
Ford 801 I am working on. What a stinking
mess the last guy left in there for me!

Today I flushed the tank with high pressure
water to remove most of the floaties, then I put
in a couple of gallons of Napa Carpurator
Cleaner and inverted it several times. I will
invert it often over the next week. I am also
thinking of putting in a couple of handfuls of
drywall screws and placing it on the back of
our UPS truck for a week of stop and go's, ups
and downs etc. (just kidding on the UPS
thing).

I will let you know how the Carb cleaner does.
The idea of having the radiator shop boiling it
out never accured to me, but sounds like a
good idea.
