    I'm not going to spend $100.00 on a tank that I plan to sell :hmmm:

    I like the chain suggestion so maybe I'll add some clean gas to the chain and see if it looks better

    I did a search for MEK and a quart of it is pretty cheap. I'll give that a try along with the chain. :tiphat:

    ^ :biglaugh::rolleyes:
    Careful with it. It takes paint off. Otherwise, dries fast without residue if clean.
