There should be a drain plug on the bottom of the tank. Remove it only
when you have a container large enuf under it to catch what's in the
tank. Dispose of properly. Take a flashlight and look in the top of
the tank to see what condition the inside is in. Let us know what you
find. I am also on a farm in Tennessee. Doug

Question about a Gasoline Holding tank
Posted by: "Shelby Kail" sjkail@twlakes.net sjkail

I live on a mini farn in Tn. (20 acres)...Bought the farm in late
1998....at which time I also bought a 200 gallon gasoline tank. It was
all new and functional at the time........ for the 1st 4 years.....but
it has sit empty for the past ten years.
I need to know what I need to do now to clean it out ...or
whatever...to get it functional again.
I can only suppose I need to replace the hand pump for sure..as the
rubber hose from the tank to the nozzle has most certainaly
detriotrated over the years ...but what about any rust or corrosion
inside the tank?
I can only assume that it has to have some rust or corrosion inside
the tank, so how do I clean it out?
Any advice or answers will be appreciated.
