I have a gas tank off my rolled rig that's been sitting for a year...I cut the gas lines to it and dropped the tank 6 months ago... siphoned all the gas I could and let it sit under the rig with a water bottle over the gas lines.
Trick is my pump just went out in my new rig...so I want to swap tanks since it's such a pain to swap just the pump. Do you guys think it would be OK to use my old tank? Is there anyway to check to make sure the inside is clean, or to clean the inside out? I have a new fuel filter...will that clean out anything stuck in the tank?
I'd hate to swap the tanks only to find the gas inside is dirty or contaminated, or worse, and kill my engine. In the PNW it doesn't get very humid, and as I've said the tank has been sitting under my rolled rig since I dropped it so it hasn't had direct contact with rain or anything.
'89 I6 cherokee. Tank is from a 91-96 (gas gauge reads opposite with the tank/pump so I figure it's from a newer one)
