Hi Graeme,
Yes tried that. Used an old condemned magnetron magnet which I salvaged from a radar set on my ship. Darn powerful magnet but I was still able to pull it off the tank.
I use that magnet inside a plastic bucket on a bit of rope to pick up swarf from drilling steel. My kids used to laugh when I told them I was "taking the magnetic dog for a walk". Now it is just a lame Dad joke!
Very effective at getting every last bit of steel filings off the floor however.
Cheers,
