Fuel polishing worked

[Banditorama]

The crud in my tank took out my shutoff valve and my carb started leaking (with the float height set correctly). So, I got a new float valve and seat for the carb, shutoff valve, and decided to try polishing the fuel to avoid pulling the tank

I am ecstatic to report that it worked! No more junk in the tank and thankfully my tank wasn't really rusty inside. I guess it was just almost 100 years of gunk combined with sitting for decades before I got it

If you're thinking about trying it, it's worth a shot. I got a couple inline filters, a fuel/water separator with an R12t screw on filter, and an electric fuel pump off Amazon. Ran it off a 12v battery hooked to a charger set to 10a. Wired the pump to a relay and wired in a 20a inline fuse. Ran it for 4 hours and it was nice and clean. It's a lot easier than pulling the tank
