I acquired a 3400 about 7 years ago. At that time, I replaced the gas tank with a brand new one from YT because the old one was so rusty. Everything has been great since then until this year. It has been collecting about 1/4" of rust colored powder at the bottom of the sediment bowl and stops running. Once I clean the bowl out, it runs fine again. Seems like I am having to clean it out about every time I use the tractor at this point.
Is the gas tank rusting already? And is there something I should have done to the new tank before using it to make sure it lasts longer then 7 years? I have some Red Kote tank liner that I was going to use on the old tank before I realized how bad it was. I didn't figure I needed to use it on a brand new tank though. Any advice is appreciated!
