Beware the fuel filter inside the tank (Bugeyes or maybe just Migets and
later tanks). It will get clogged from the sealant. Remove it and use
an external filter.Here is a good way to clean these tanks. Fill with
water and but on a BBQ for 4 to 6 hours and boil out the varnish. I did
this with a Midget tank and no sealant was required. What I thought was
rust was only varnish. I had to brak off ther pick-up filter in the
tank using a long screwdriver through the sending unit hole.
