Tank condition:
Smooth rust on walls with mottled or layered rust on bottom. However, there are no visible particles, flakes, etc. I stirred and scraped with my hand and can feel some grittiness from the walls. The fuel clouded up, but still no visible particles, not even sand grain size, only microscopic sized that clouds up. The small "sock" screen feels "clean". Since treating a tank is an expensive proposition, what is the determining level of rust acceptance?
