Gotta be careful here. If you blew something back into the tank, it's just sitting there waiting to be sucked back into the line. All kinds of interesting things wind up in a tank- kids deposit band aids, tank linings break up....

glad to hear it vic, does sound like you have something floating about inside the tank though. maybe one to sort over the winter.

If you can drain your tank from the bottom theirs no gurantee that you drained all the crap out of the tank. I've found out the hard way, that a lot of the rust is from the top of the tank. Unless you get the tank boiled out it will happen again again again and again. After cleaning it out, coat it with a tank sealer.

Not trying to spend your $$$ but save yourself some heartache and install a nice new tank. Peace of mind is priceless.
