Hi Ed & all:

Here is my plan to try to get the header tank clean.
The wing tanks are OK it all came from the pump then up to the
header tank.

I presently have all the plumbing out of the plane including the valve and
finger
strainer. I have about 5 gallons of stale gas I drained out of another
plane.

I was going to screw a hose barb into the header tank drain and run the
hose
through the hole in the firewall left by the tubing from the tank then
down
to a
container.

I'll strain the gas into the header to insure I don't add crud. Initially
I'll have
the drain hose pinched so I can watch the initial flow.
I'll then drain the header into a fine mesh strainer watching for crud.

If I do this several times, rocking the plane laterally & longitudinally I
hope
to get it clear.

I'll let everyone know how this works. I have an inspection light I can
put inside the tank. I wish I had a bore scope--I might just get one
of those cheap ones.

Cheers:
