durham.....its nice
Well the old fuel in my bus has turned to a thin film of tar like goo in the bottom of my tank. I've currently got half a gallon of fresh fuel in there with 10 wheel nuts and give it a shake when I'm passing daily :lol:
The fuel is the colour of well stewed tea now when I tipped a little out. Shall I just flush it and repeat a few times to dissolve the rest?
I don't fancy refitting it to have loads of **** keep killing fuel filters and the tank is in amazing condition to waste it

i used this had the same thing this works a treat specially if you've got the tank out, acid wash etc. eally works take about a week to do in full but goooooooooooooooooooooood :D :D :D :D
 
You don't need that kit if your tank is good inside. Try adding some CCT (dry cleaning fluid also sold as 'Brake and Parts Cleaner" in motor factors. Use about a litre - it will dissolve dried fuel very quickly. Don't breathe in the fumes though - it's rather nasty.

eBay or motor factors for a good supply? Cheers folks for the advice 8)
