[QUOTE="Garth Robinson, post: 123748, member: 237"] I have an oil tank which has not been used for 50 odd years.It has been stored without the filler cap and it seems that a small rodent or lizard has crawled inside to die. I have tried the usual methods of small nuts and shaking with kerosene and diesel,but it looks as though I am going to have to open the tank to get the crud and rust removed.My question is,Where is the best place to cut the tank open to gain the best access to clean it.I realize that there are internal pipes which I don't want to damage,so I am reluctant to attack it with a jig saw in case I hit something vital.A sketch of where to cut would be ideal.I am sure this has been done before.
