Need to update your links -- the ultrasonic cleaner is NLA, same with the clutch remover for Briggs & Stratton. A challenge.

[@Leonardokite]

As far as the protective coating inside the gas tank, it was already rusted so it was pretty much useless if there was any there anyhow.

[@markd9130]

Makes sense to me. And, I'd think that putting fuel in the tank would somewhat protect the metal. Doesn't gas contain corrosion inhibitors? It would probably help to keep the fuel fresh or avoid ethanol which attracts water.

[@oggearhound2242]

I always mix a little Marvel Mystery Oil into my gas.. that should help the tank as well

My 3HP Briggs and Stratton engine is 1977 and tank was badly rusted, so having removed the rust same way as you (I also used a pressure washer with gravel inside), I really dried the inside of the tank using an air fan in a greenhouse for 24 hours, then sprayed the inside of the tank with Hammerite and Hammerite thinner. I don't want to repeat the rust removal process. I treated the petrol pump to a new gasket as old one was 45 years old.

I like to use small stamped out flat washers because one side has a sort of sharp edge which I hope acts as some kind of scraping blade on the inner tank surface when I shake and shake and shake it . Then I can re-use the washers afterward . Great videos by the way . Now I have two rototillers for some reason .

[@Fwibits]

Soaking rusted metal parts in cleaning vinegar for a few days will do wonders on rust. No shaking, just waiting.

[@JimF500]

Do what Mustie1 does, strap the tank to your vehicle wheel and drive LOL!...Love this series.

[@wildmanofborneo]

If you have a concrete mixer you can put vinegar and some chains in the tank. Swish it around and let soak. Then strap to mixer and run for a few hours. The chain is easier to remove than gravel on some tanks. Some tanks have a neck that makes getting gravel out kind of tricky.

[@Hjerte_Verke]

You should watch Taryl Fixes All's video on "Small Engine Total Rebuild: A Complete Guide". Once past the silliness, he covers almost all the bases including cleaning everything up spic and span and getting the engine back to its best condition within monetary reason. There's really no need to throw a lot of money at these engines replacing every part if the original parts are still serviceable.

I've been using the rock method for years also and I never had a problem. Good one Steve!!!

[@stv9906]

Great job Steve!!! Just a heads up for anyone interested, I just cleaned the exact same B&S gas tank from a Troybuilt, which was in the same fillthy condition, just by filling it all the way up with regular vinegar. Left it for a day and a half, and then rinsed it with a garden hose and compressed air just like you did!! Came out super clean to the last crimp and dimple!!

[@luuk-out-below9804]

Great Information Steve. My neighbor brought me an edger that sat with fuel for years. The tank was rusted and varnished. I was able to take off the carburetor and service because of your video. In addition, I soaked the tank with Vinegar for 8 hours and the rust disintegrated easily. I did use several nuts and cut a steel wool pad in thirds and shook for 10 min. Looks like new. Thanks again!

[@StevesSmallEngineSaloon]

You're Welcome...

[@USMC0311PurpleHeart]

Suggest no steel wool. Some of the tiny metal particles of the wool may go thru the tank's little inside filter and enter the carb/jet. Use something that will NOT leave any part of itself in the tank. Ball bearing/BBs will be best and they can be removed with magnet and gravity. Good Luck!

[@2dach]

If you're using copper BBs, you can forget about the magnet.

[@yappledapple3469]

I did something similar with the fuel tank in my 68 F250, but I used bb’s to help clean it then used por15 cleaner and coating to seal it. Mine was about the same and it’s been great for the last 8 yrs or so. Been waiting for the next vid in your series, keep em going, really enjoy them!!!

I think as long as you have enough steel to hold the fuel you should be good to go. The fuel will prevent rust as long as you fill the tank after your done tilling.

Steve, I absolutely love the idea of putting rocks in the tank to knock out the rust chips. I've never done that before. I've always just switched it with gas best I could. On another note if the rocks knock off the coating on a tank this old, do we really care? I don't care. If my customer decides to abuse his machine again, well I guess that's just more work for me. I also really like the idea of just using hot water in the Sonic cleaner. I've always used carburetor cleaner and that starts getting very expensive. I also need to buy a bigger Sonic cleaner like yours.

Steve had one exactly like this ( mine was a Craftsman triller ) and sold it last year , been in my family since 1972 . I was alway told in metal tanks to make sure a keep the tank full of gas at the end of every season to avoid rust and it never did develop rust . Steve had heard what was ideal was too put pea gravel in it - and if you had a way of attachment to a paint shaker would do the job perfectly - clean the gas tank perfectly .

With the amount of rust in that tank, there was no “protective coating” left. Additionally, I have never seen any coatings in any tanks of that era. Gravel is an interesting idea, I have used marbles along with Dawn dish soap.

[@StevesSmallEngineSaloon]

Great tip!

[@andrewsullivan7923]

my sentiments exactly... there was likely no coating and if there was it was far gone. gravel i think is a practical abrasive! thanks for the tips Steve. a little soap goes a long way also, just requires more rinsing to get it done. you definitely want NO SOAP after cleaning... all-in-all, great job.

[@stephentayles3229]

Why not use the "Astonish toilet bowl cleaner" to remove the rust?

[@StockDude]

What about rocks and lacquer thinner? Asking, not suggesting.

[@donaldshimkus539]

I've used coarse sand and diesel fuel or ATF. Use anything that can shake it around like an old paint can shaker or a vibrating sander, a small electric motor with an imbalance on the shaft, just hose clamp the motor to the tank. Nuts and rocks can't get into all the nooks n crannies like sand. When done, wash it out with dish detergent and water. Rinse with clean water and blow dry. Try to coat entire interior asap with tank sealer or something similar.

[@tommiller615]

Found an old Wright SAW. Never seen a saw like this till now. Gonna start from top down and see if I can get it to run. So far, success with the gas tank video!

[@StevesSmallEngineSaloon]

Good luck!

[@herenow2895]

Never heard of the rock method before. It's quick and does the job. If anyone was bothered about removing protective coating, I'm pretty sure that you can get something that will coat the inside of the tank. You just rinse it around, drain it out and let it dry. Or something like that. Or, if you didnt want to use the the rock method, you could just put a load of white vinegar in there and leave it until the rust has been removed. Looking forward to the start up Steve. You gonna do some tilling with it ?

[@craftyha]

OK. Used bb's and rust remover . On an mtd Briggs straton motor. Tiller I full tank with non ethanol fuel then fog the top of the tank with wd40. Stored it over the winter like that . This spring it started right up. Needs a carb diaphragm now.

Alloy deck is good, just the paint corroded off. I haven't looked at the engine yet but compression seems good. Thanks again for your videos.

Nice job, btw you can clean those rust with adding lemon accid in there and boiled watter ( almost full tank ) then shake it and leave it for half day, so in that period you must couple time return back and shake again. In my case that works perfect and al rust was gone from inside of tank. ♥️

I cleaned many a motorcycle gas tank that way, but we always sealed them with something like TankSeal afterwards. It's not just about rust, but sometimes the mounting tabs would develop micro cracks, and a gas-wet crotch on a long ride is never forgotten.

[@darinmckillop5044]

I've only ever used acid then tsp to neutralize the acid but the gravel is a good idea too. Just use a little 2 cycle oil in gas to coat the tank

After you clean the tank inside, I use a small chain, the folded over flat metal links. Just gently swish about in the tank. I usually used gas and oil in the tank for cleaning, but if I did use water I would add Dawn. After cleaning, could we then use a strong acid to finish cleaning the inside; and then, is there a coating we could use, to make the tank last decades more???

Obviously the protective layer is long gone or never existed in the first place with those tanks. They all look like Chernobyl inside when you get them. I have used the rock method and a long flathead screwdriver to get those clean and electrolysis as well as the rocks and screwdriver. The screwdriver speeds things up a lot when you go in and scrape it all down. It's worth the effort because those engines start so easy when you rebuild the those carbs and get them set up right.

Nice video I have what looks like the exact engine and gas tank that you have. I am about to remove my gas tank as the gas is nice and brown and flaky . Question: I see one screw holding the gas tank and then there is the linkage for the throttle Now I also see a little wire on one end of the gas tank held in by a clamp or some device. I assume that it must be removed and is not part of the gas tank? Is it a grounding wire? So before I tear things apart would you have any info on that for me. Thanks

If you couldn't find a gasket you needed to replace an old one with, could you use some gasket material (sheet) to make one as close to the original?

[@murphymmc]

Rocks are fine, steel nuts are fine, just about any media that gets through the rust is fine. Scraping off the protective coating, if it really has any, or any left is pretty secondary. If the coating was doing any good you wouldn't have a serious rust problem. If someone is bugged about it, coat the inside with the epoxy coating designed to remedy the issue. Clean works well.

Use a can of BB's from a kids gun, and a pint of solution in the tank. Your acetone and tran fluid works great, but Lacquer Thinner and tran fluid work just as good, and you only have to shake it once. It doesn't separate. The BB's reach into corners better and pour out the best. Being round doesn't make any difference on cutting ability. Ive done 23 tractor tanks with the same BB"s.
