This sounds like a great idea, and one I had been thinking about for one of my 28 phaetons, although I was planning to have the gas drain into a jerry can and then repeatedly dump it back in.

But some of the posts also got me thinking about getting decades of sludge and rust scale out of the tank. I have an old parts air sprayer (in photo) that hooks to a compressor, and sucks solvent up through a hose by vacuum to spray it out under pressure. This seems like a good way to get some of the junk out of the tank more effectively. But of course I am very hesitant to spray gas with it! So my question is, what do you guys think about draining the gas from the tank, then repeatedly spraying non-flammable parts cleaning solvent into the tank until it is clean (or cleaner anyway). Then pour some gas into the tank a few times to get rid of any remaining solvent. Does this sound like a reasonable idea?


Thanks.
