The general consensus is not to split those tanks . Rather use bb's or nuts and rattle it clean inside and use a fuel tank sealant. I have used Red Coat successfully for mag tanks.

funny you say that. I have a bluebird dethacher and a bluebird over seeder and they both have great running old briggs motors. both of them have the big metal fuel tanks and had rust. recently I used a big handful of hardened stub nails and purple cleaner and shook the crap out of them, and they came out immaculate. used the POR15 and it worked great. kitted both carbs and they run like new.
have enough of the POR 15 to do the same with this tank. great advice. thanks!

I called POR to ask about using their product on cast magnesium and they were closed for the day. sent them an email. have read good things about Red Coat but I'd like to use what I have if it will work. stuff is fantastic on steel if you prep it right.
thanks again MS.

these are about 1/2" long or less and do a great job. the inside of the SP70 tank now is clean as a whistle.
They are not intended to come apart as they are sealed with epoxy. I fill the tank about 1/2 way with BB's and put it in a fixture on the lathe them rotate it slowly for an hour or so in each direction. After cleaning it out with a final acetone wash I seal it again with Red Kote.
This happens to be a Poulan tank but you get the idea.
I've done a couple of fuel tanks and a gearbox or two with POR 15 but I prefer the Red Kote. Just be sure to allow it to cure fully before adding fuel.

got the fuel tank sealed with the POR15 yesterday. today's project.
excited to receive this shipment from Mark today. awesome that I can refurb this saw with almost all OEM parts.
Thats pretty AWESOME, it'll make a great saw!
it's been a good last few days. I picked this up Saturday am in Clearwater, went over it with a fine-tooth comb sat afternoon and spent Sunday in the woods on it. it's a 2020 model with 25 hours on the digital dashboard.
Nice but too many valves n cam shafts hehe
well, I have this too.
got my paint booth set up in the shop this afternoon (my old spray guns are not bashful about overspray). love the old Binks touch up gun for painting small parts. when you only need a small amount of paint the small narrow cup is awesome.
Are you able to keep warm in your plastic tent?
