Hey all, Got a fuel question for you. All you "EE's" out there, take off that hat and get your chemical engineer hard hats on. I have to soak three vehicle worth of fuel tanks, pumps, and lines and am wondering what would work best. I'm thinking MEK because, well, it's pretty nuclear when it comes to dissolving crud that could be left in the fuel system. Then again, Acetone is good also. Then I saw Toluene and a host of others on the shelf down at the local store/hardware place. I'm just planning to pour it in and let it soak. Any thoughts? Oh, the systems are still installed nothing has been disconnected or removed yet. FWIW, I'm *totally* dreading the removal of a Syncro tank. The research on the archives of what to replace the factory "blanket" around the tank (which is *completely* old, crusty and will fall apart when touched, the blanket that is) will take a few hours, I'm sure. Followed only by hours of sweat, dirt, dust, cussing, prying, more 'cussing, and a few cuts and scrapes. That's just what I read but I never did hear of anyone saying it was easy nor fun. Thanks TJ
