1951 Ford 8n

Recommended Posts

A friend asked me to get his 1951 Ford 8n running again after it sat outside with fuel in the tank. I drained the tank, sprayed an entire can of carb cleaner in it, shook it, let it sit for a couple of days and dumped it out.  Still crud and bits in it.  Can I get this "boiled out"?  What other solvents can I use?

Thanks
Francis

Eastwood.com sells a fuel tank cleaning relining system I have used on a Case  VAC Tractor tank and some other smaller tanks.  Messy and time consuming but it works and lasts.    Had to do a generator tank once rigged up a bracket on the rear hub of my Lawn Ranger jacked her up clamped the tank to the bracket put some rocks in it with the East wood chemical and let her run for about half an hour...got some strange looks from the neighbors.
