Need advice
I have a 30gal auxiallry tank in my bed it is really dirty with grit and alge, i was going to drain the fule out pressurewash the inside of the tank the best i could ,then treat it with that heat stuff it "helps with getting the tank completely dry".Then when i refule it i will treat it with biocide to prevent alge.
Dose this sound right, correct me if i am wrong on anything or, if you want to add something feel free.Need opinions i am doing this tomorrow.

in mine, i pressure washed it out, let it dry. pressure washed it agian then filled with diesel, a gallon of diesel kleen and a half gallon of lucas. let it sit for about 2 weeks then ran the fuel. changed the fuel filter once it was empty and been good as new. my tank is 100 gallon though, so you'd be fine with half that amount

Before filling the tank, I would a FRAM HPK2 Oil Filter Adapter ($13.99 + 5.15 shipping) @: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/New-chopper-remote-oil-filter-adaptor-Fram-HPK2-_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem5d2b172edfQQitemZ40015 4898143QQptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccesso ries with a Motorcraft FL1A OIL FILTER ($3.67 @ ChinaMart ). The FL1A is a 25 micron filter and would be a good primary filter for your system. They're also CHEAP! Bio is a good solvent, but you have to catch the dirt that it loosens up.
