He Came Up with An Easy Way To Clean Out Old Gas Tanks On Tractors
    Roy Wimer, Greenville, Penn.: “I came up with an easy way to clean out old gas tanks on tractors. I throw a handful of small bolts or ball bearings into a tank, add a little kerosene, then bunge strap the tank to a tractor’s rear wheel and jack it up in the air. I put the tractor in gear and let the wheel rotate for a few minutes, then put the transmission in reverse to rotate the wheel in the other direction. I then flip the tank over and strap it down from the other side, and repeat the process.
    “I’ve used this idea for years to remove sludge and rust from gas tanks on tractors I restore. The photo shows the gas tank off an old Allis Chalmers B.”
