Guy Stops by the Shop:

Pumped this tank down to sucking air and it performs well leaving just a little in the bottom. The fuel was transferred to my transfer tank in my pickup and I then pumped the fuel into the dozer tank which is now about five gallons shy of full.

With the tank now empty as I can make it with the pickup tube, I'll open another valve down low to drain off any accumulated water or sediment. This was used as a gravity tank and has another filter on the former output they used. After I know this tank is clean I'll remove this apparatus and install a ball valve to be used as a drain only. With a street elbow installed into the ball valve pointed downwards, it will be an easy drain setup should it be needed and not be a "knee knocker" hopefully.

Can't be worse than receiver hitch

Got the new vented tank fill port, and the level gauge installed this afternoon. Stuck a tape measure down the bung and just about an inch of fuel from the bottom remains. Going to drain this down to nothing as what come out of that discharge down low smell terrible and is nasty brown.



Former vent:



Now awaiting a fuel drop and should be set.
