Tank and tap cleaning

eh?

I've never rented, let alone owned a cememt mixer, and can't imagine
that I'll ever have the need for one either. Why do you want one?

 

There's often a gauze thingy inside the tank, on the inlet to the tap, and
this is often half-full of spooge.

 

Well duh, it's a power tool.

If that wasn't enough, it also mixes cement - I have some building work
to do.

 

Mais certainment, mon frere!

This is why it's getting the POR15 treatment, but it was iffy before the
paint started flaking, and with clean filters. The taps really don't let
much through when they _are_ working properly.

 

and of course it can be used to clean a petrol tank, as described.

 

I've noted that on mine, too, which is only a 600, but I couldn't say if it
still does it after replacing the fuel taps, which I did a while back having
found 'em for sale cheap somewhere and having a dodgy one.

I reckon it might be to do with the fact that the route for petrol into one
carb is rather longer and more twisty than the other, if running on only one
tap.

 

You may have a point.

 

So his failure to achieve this might be down to his habit of using one tap
at a time?

 

It might be riding from one tap to another. After the first few, I'd
slow down, considerably.
