Default Fuel tank repairs

When I went to look at this welder I noticed that there was some rust in the fuel tank. I also saw some signs of leaking from the bottom of the tank onto the starter. When I drained the tank there was plenty of crap that came out with the fuel, but lucky for me the screen was still intact. As the shutoff would not turn, I took it apart, cleaned and oiled and reassembled.

Default Fuel tank repairs

First round of cleaning involved multiple rounds of filling the tank about 1/4 full of boiling water with a heaping tablespoon of TSP and a hand full of 3/4" stones from the crusher followed by LOTS of shaking, drain and rinse,..repeat!

If you have good success with this I would love to know. I have a very old tank off a hit/miss I would like to resurrect, been using a different tank on it.

Thanks

If the tank is leaking, solder it, if it is not, no problem, nothing to fix.

ol'George, I always appreciate your advice and value your opinion. Thanks for commenting.

It is leaking. Once I got the tank all cleaned up I found several pin holes in the bottom. So,.. my concern is the rust inside the tank. Through the agitation process I feel fairly confident that I have removed all the loose scale but there is still surface rust on the bottom. The KREEM process involves removing the rust with phosphoric acid, rinsing with MEK followed by coating with the sealant.

I could solder the pin holes from the outside, but.. what would you suggest I do about the rust?

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
