Yeah I've been searching. Most of them start with HOW TO PREVENT. I know how to prevent it. I'm looking for a magic bullet to clean the inside of a tank with minimal access.

It has a supply and return tube welded in. I don't intend to use either and have them plugged. One has a 1/2" NPT thread and the other is 3/8" NPT. The tubes won't have any effect on my use. My transfer pump connects to a pickup tube with a 2" NPT base. I already have that figured out how to...

Tank has a black film in it. Put a couple gallons of fuel with 10X shock dose of Biobor in it to slosh around. I have a sample in a jar on my tool box to see if it will dissolve the stuff.

I went through a couple iterations of batteries and solar maintainers until I realized I had a draw with the dead crank switch left on. The maintainer would keep up with it for a while then next thing I knew the batteries were dead. Turn the dead crank to off after every use and problem solved...

Picked up the stuff to adapt my pickup tube I made for the drums. It has a 2" NPT adapter glued to it. The inside of the neck on this Freightliner tank is a tad under 2-5/8". I was hoping the OD on a 2" female adapter would be close but it's too big. If I turned it down to fit it would be too...

This will sit stationery in my barn. All of the pickup holes will be plugged and I will try to adapt the 2" pipe thread on the base of my pump to the fill hole. If I figure out a way to get that sealed I will use the other 1/2" NPT hole in the top for a filtered vent. I have my fuel delivered so...

I have a backhoe, tractor, and a MEP803A to keep fuel on hand for. I've run through the gambit on diesel storage. I started with 55 gallon oil drums and they started to rust inside after 4 years. I switched to plastic drums and one of those split this week. Thankfully it split above the fuel...

Different trailer but might give you an idea. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/m200a1-lunette-ring-conversion-to-a-drop-2-5-16-ball-hitch.192399/#lg=post-2253850&slide=0

Got mine back in the day they were being sold at GL. Mine already had a gouge in the side but it didn't hit anything inside to cause damage. Picked up in their Atlanta yard and the guy had no trouble forking from the end to load in the back of my F150. It didn't slide out easy at all using...

I had a 1969 Mustang 302 Fastback (Sportsroof) when I was 18. Wish I had that back today. The one in the barn is a 1999 GT I bought for my 50th. It did double duty as a daily driver/autocross car for several years but is mostly used for track days now. I am 69 now and it still handles like no...

Got my new fueling station set up and filled. Switched from metal drums behind the generator to plastic in the barn. I will have to carry fuel to the generator but I use most of it in the tractors. Fueling those will be much easier and no more rust. The rust didn't get bad enough to contaminate...

Bake some cookies every few days. I have run mine for a week straight with low loads. Run the water heater for an hour each day and turn on the oven for a while every now and then and you will be fine.

Mine had the can adapter and hose but was missing the pickup tube. I threaded a piece of 3/8" aluminum tube 1/4" NPT to fit the adapter thread. I don't foresee ever using it. I keep a pump with nozzle in one barrel to fill my tractors. The MEP runs so long on a tank of fuel I just use my barrel...

Those are just a small wire screen inside. If you want to convert to something with more capacity and visible just get a couple of fittings and a plastic replacement. qty 1 of a 1/8" male NPT to 5/16" hose fitting qty 1 of a 1/8" female NPT to 5/16" hose fitting qty 1 of a NAPA 3972 I used a...

In their former life I doubt if they ever saw any shelter. Mine sits under a shed. That said I would have wanted the electrical end covered if I chose one end over the other. How many amps are you pulling in your load test? I don't think you can depend on the load meter. You can make any of...

Those side slots are not likely to work with a pallet jack. The guy that loaded mine into my truck picked it up from the end with a forklift but it had very long forks that could get well under the unit. I don't think a typical pallet jack will work very well unless you had one on each end. I...

I ran a 1/4" NPT die over the end of a piece of 3/8" OD aluminum tube for mine. You could probably just use a 1/4" NPT hose barb and stick a piece of braided nylon hose on it.

I think I'm about done with this new forum format. On my PC it nags me to turn off my ad blocker. I get that they want to make money to support the site but I don't agree to let any and everybody they choose to popup ads and track me so I leave it on. On my android phone it won't let me read a...

I removed the strainer basket because it was corroding. I open the fuel cap and look inside. Problem solved. ;)
