- 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!
That's the creepiest gas tank I've ever seen.
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. âïž
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
Nice to see the bus back. Great job cleaning the tank & saving it. Very cool.
Good job getting the fuel tank cleaned out and showing how it's done đ
On that old engine you might want to add a little lead additive so the exhaust valves can stay lubed.
Nice to see you're continuing to work on that project!
Awe thanks my friend for the kind words, be my guest and use the "dizzy" on the Nova or the El Caminio..... Let;s Go!!!
Good job on fixing the bus bro it looks really great keep it up loving watching your videos
Muratic acid for concrete in the tank. Flip it to every side day at a time. Will clean all the eust out.
I feel you with health problems my friend. Very awesome job on getting that fuel tank working again. Thanks for sharing.
I canât believe you got that tank working. Iâm sorry I doubted you! The bus is great!
This is the second episode I've watched and this guy is the best mechanic I have seen on You Tube and I've watch a lot of car videos.
Supercool update and project â€đ
Great job on cleaning that tank. They donât make tanks like that anymore. They were better back then then today
