Someone had cleaned and painted the outside already previously. That paint was peeling and flecking off. Came right off with the wire brush. The sealer kit I got from Jegs on ebay workered wonders on interior of tank. Right down to clean metal. Man the brownish black dead stinky gunk that came out was amazing. When I put the cleaner in, I also put a number of large washers in also to help break up the skunge layer. Ikept track on the number so I could retrieve them with a magnet later. :D
After it was allclean inside n out, I sealed inner surfaces. Make sure you keep air blowing thru pickup tube to keep it clear. After inside was sealed, repainted outside.

Looks great. I would like to do drain my differentials and clean them out. Did you make the cover gaskets or find them somewhere?
