It seems as though most of these guys want you to butcher up a perfectly good tank, which is just about the dumbest idea I've ever heard. Dumping rocks in there won't work either because some of those rocks will become lodged behind the baffle and you will never get them out. Muriatic acid is still your best bet. I have used that method on two different tractors now with very good results, and that was at least 5 years ago. If rusting was to be a problem I am sure it would have reared its ugly head by now. Apparently the acid will not dissolve the terne coating, or my tanks did not have the coating, or the coating was already gone, whatever, but I have not had any problems since cleaning the two tanks with muriatic acid.
