Not much to report. But I’m trying out a citric acid bath on the fuel tank. I had a large plastic drum that I filled with about 40 gallons of water. Into this I mixed in 10lbs of citric acid. I bought a bag from Amazon. I had been reading about home versions of Evaporust and the citric acid was deemed to be overall pretty mild.

I was able to submerge about half the tank at a time. This is the result after soaking since Sunday night. At first it didn’t look like any changes were taking place. But after power washing, wow it cleaned almost all the rust right up. Tonight I added a much larger fish tank heater (rated for 90 gallon) tank. The dip is supposed to work better when it’s warmer.
