Ok, so if the title don't give it all away.. Roughly 2 seasons ago, I bought some fuel (Not paying attention that it was the all great bio-fuel).. fueled up my tractor and went to the field. At the end of the season, I decided not to continue farming and put my tractor away.
I ran it a time or 2 last year.. Last August, I couldn't get it to run.. found out I wasn't getting fuel.. started checking lines.. no fuel from tank. Opened cap on the still nearly full tank to a horrible smell. I got the fuel from the tank, now there is anywhere from 2-3 inches of nasty slime/grease/crap in it.. And it was PERFECTLY CLEAN when I had the pump and injectors rebuilt about 5 years ago now.
I nearly have the tank off the tractor.. Just wondering if anyone has a miracle cure on how to clean out the tank. I figured a pressure washer might be the best bet, but I'm sure someone out there has experienced something similar and might have a better solution.
And for the record.. NO MORE BIO-FUEL will be bought over here.
