I pulled the tank out tonight with my dad's help - we took it to the car wash and washed it all out good - it's drying now and looks squeaky clean inside. Should be reintalling it tomorrow - just need to get some replacement o-rings from the dealer for the Sending unit and the tank screen. New viton hoses, fresh filters, diesel purge, the works. Just time and effort.
BTW - I emailed the PO and he said he frequently used Lucas fuel additive - anybody know what color that is... uhhmmmm, blue?!
