  • We're back working on the 1948 ford school bus that we found abandoned for over 25 years in the forest. Let's try and clean the original gas tank that is very rusty. This has gotta be the dirtiest gas tank ever and WTH do I find inside?

    Tank turned out simply amazing! NO WAY, (I thought) was that tank still usable!

  • @douglasmesina6922

    That's the creepiest gas tank I've ever seen.

  • @baileyfamily2623

    I know you taped this awhile ago but man, am I envious! That bus is so awesome!

    I am really surprised how well that tank cleaned up. I really thought that it was beyond hope. It's amazing how well the vinegar ate up all that rust. I've used it to unstick engine's before but you learned this ol' fart something and i ain't kidding. Still might wanna carry a few of those plastic gas filters with y'all. ✌

    I watched a show a while back where they cleaned a gas tanks, after cleaning all the rust out and letting the tank dry they put a flash light over the opening and shut of the lights in the shop for a bit and found a bunch of pin wholes in the tank. might be something to check for if your ever clean a tank in the future

    Nice job cleaning the tank. I know it's been 6 months since this video was done but putting a big square inspection plate on the top of the tank probably on both ends would have gotten better access. Drying with the busses own exhaust while cutting the holes would keep it safe to cut. My father-in-law has a 31 Ford Victoria coupe that replaced the 29 5 window body that he had an accident with. I am a welder by trade and I went over every weld on it because it was very sloppily assembled . Now it is safer on the road along with having the front end setup properly and having correct shocks. I love the bus.

    I'm a big fan of Harbor Freight myself, on their impacts the Bauer is ok if you get them loose with a breaker bar first then you can maybe you can use the Bauer impact. The Hercules line on impacts are much better. These use brushless motors that are much stronger than the brushed tools.

    Put the water hose up to it flipping upside down and let it run free ! And stand back and watch the sediment come out

    Good job getting the fuel tank cleaned out and showing how it's done 👍

  • @williamhenley2185

    On that old engine you might want to add a little lead additive so the exhaust valves can stay lubed.
