MEK is some wicked sh...stuff!!
I used MEK in the Navy as a solvent and my safety training said it would detsroy eye tissue in a heartbeat!
I also used it to make fiberglass auto accessories back in the hey-day of custom vans. The smell is potent and it's flamible. But having it splash in your eye... immediate eye flush and straight to the emergancy room. Goggles, Faceshields! Oh, Zeus! Just be freaking carefull with MEK!!!!!

Check local glass shop
Hi Bob
Getting glass to use in the rotational tank cleaning method, you were kidding about breaking the neighbors windows, but last time I heard of somebody using the cement mixer tank rotation method they stop at the local auto glass shop and they gave him a 5 gallon bucket of safety glass bits. Supposedly those little squares of glass did a nice job of cleaning the inside of the tank. I'm trying to figure out how to rotate the gas tank out my 49 Lincoln, don't have a cement mixer. The trick to this method of cleaning is just letting the tank slowly rotate for long time. Hence the need for some type of motorized rig. Cheers Phil

Good suggestion.
Hi Phil
Yes I will drop by the auto glass shop..... good suggestion. I beleive the tank will fit in the opening of the cement mixer with some old foam mattress padding. It should allow to switch ends and I can rotate with the drum in the up position as well as the dump position. I intend to try some solvent at first then switch to just water and mild soap solution. Will clean the oval cover separate and use a plywood plug on the opening for the cleaning process. For your Lincoln consider a small rotisserie design and gear down the rpm with belts and pulleys. I may actually have to slow down my concrete mixer by installing a smaller pulley on the motor. Cheers Bob
