I had a 730 JD gas with a rusty tank. I sent to Renew Tank in Minnesota. It's a bit expensive but they clean the tank and bake in a poly liner, it worked great. I also had a 300 massey combine with a rusty tank, but this project was on a shoestring budjet. I talked to an old mechanic, he said to use "the works" toilet bowl cleaner. I took the tank off, got three bottles(the stuff is cheap) and poured in the first bottle. It didn't do squat til I started rinsing the tank out. Then rust started to come out. So I deduced this stuff needs water to activate it. I put a couple gallons of water in the tank, the other two bottles and let it sit. Then I swished it around. I repeated this for about ten minutes, dumped the tank out, rinsed it, and it was really clean. I could see the galvinizing in the bottom of the tank again. I ran some diesel thru the tank to take care of any leftover moisture. The sediment bowl has been clean ever since. One word of caution is watch where you dump the stuff. I did it over our shop drain and ate the sealant off the cement. Give it a try. I do agree that you'll have to take the tank off to do a good job. Brokenwrench. Please post the method you used and how it worked, it's always fun to here of different ways that work.
