I finally got the gas tank removed from my truck last night.
I got under the truck with a gas can to empty my tank. I took the flex line off the truck and opened the petcock, but got nothing more than a slow dribble for the next 20 minutes. I took the petcock off, thinking it was clogged but got no more flow.
I unbolted the tank and lifted it out of the saddles. I heard the remaining fuel and what sounded like a ton of stones rush to the other end of the tank.
Question(s): Is this normal? Is that something in the tank to keep the fuel from sloshing back and forth? Or is it 56 years of built up sh@#? What do you do with skunked fuel when you don't live someplace where you can just throw it on the weekend bonfire?
