I changed all the rubber lines on the gas and water today. I flushed the water and put in new antifreeze. I put the original, four solid blade fan on. I haven't been anywhere to get a shroud for it. Idling in the driveway, the temp doesn't get over 170*.
I blew out the line to the tank, refilled it twice, and sucked it dry twice. The problem has to be in the tank. I put a gallon jug of gas on the frame and ran a line to the pump to move it around for now. I will pull the tank later and see what it looks like inside.
I priced a new tank at lmctruck.com. It costs $199.50 there. A friend of mine told me there is someone locally that will internally clean and coat tanks, but didn't know how much they charge. I'm going to check into that.
