I had the same problem with mine, bowl full of jelly and the only quote I could get for polishing and cleaning the tank was well in excess of the new tank cost. I ended up replacing the original 40gallon metal tank with a 10gallon plastic one as there was no way I would ever get through 40gallons in a 1GM10, little bit of cutting and some mounting bits and it was all done. Not a difficult job assuming you can get the old tank out. Cheers, Paul

Same situation. I took a sample to the gas barge and it was contaminated beyond belief. Took out the fuel that was black in some places and then murky in others. I am now taking the tank out. Last year I cleaned out the tank but that was not enough. The tank is the original and I would like another made. Part of the problem is that we do not use enough fuel to keep it happy. I am thinking then of cutting down the size of the tank. That would mean the fuel we put in would be used much faster. Will also replace all the hoses etc. Has anyone downsized their tank in a 29-2 and if so what is the size. The irony is that it is cheaper to buy a new tank here in Vancouver than to get the fuel "polished". _______________________________________________ Email address: [email protected] To change your list preferences, including unsubscribing -- go to the bottom of page at: http://cnc-list.com/mailman/listinfo/cnc-list_cnc-list.com
