MY M-37 TANK HAD HEAVY RUST ON THE INSIDE CEILING AND BAFFLES. I REMOVED THE TANK FROM THE TRUCK AND HAD IT "BOILED OUT" AT A RADIATOR SHOP TO REMOVE ALL GAS AND EXPLOSIVE FUMES. THEN I DRILLED 3" HOLES THOUGH THE BOTTOM IN BETWEEN EACH BAFFLE. THOUGH THOSE HOLES I SAND BLASTED THE CEILING AND BAFFLES. THEN I RETURNED THE TANK TO THE RADIATOR SHOP WHERE THEY SOLDERED BRASS PLATES OVER THE 3" HOLES, FLUSHED AGAIN (TO REMOVE THE SAND RESIDUE) AND THEN SEALED IT. WORKS GREAT AND MY FUEL IS CRYSTAL CLEAR.
