Hey Ed;
I am planning to just keep my 100 gal truck mounted
backhoe tank in my truck. Will flush it out and go from there. Those
tanks are pretty cheap, and usually come with a good hand pump.

You are undoubtedly right, Dave. While
even spam cans are going to Mogas - here I am still using 100LL. I
think I'll keep my eye out for one of those 50 gallons tanks on wheels - 50
gallons is the limit (I believe) here in NC before you need a commercial
license to haul it. It would certainly pay for itself quick with
the differential over $1.00/gallon (or more).

Ed, I think you should just switch to MOGAS. Now that I
have my system down, it actually takes less time and hassle on average than
taxiing 200 yds to the pumps. My 30 gal gas caddy and 12v pump have
already paid for themselves.

Good idea, Scott. Gun bore
cleaners/solvents been suggested before. What I have found out
is none of the gun cleaners are true lead solvents. It takes
something like foaming nitric acid to dent lead - of course that is lead
in the metal form - something less drastic might work on what appears to
be a lead crystal form of some sort. (If view under a magnifying
glass you can see glints of light off what appears to be crystal facets -
of course, I guess it could be carbon.
In any case, I would greatly like to find
something that would remove the stuff from the ceramic cone - my belief is
that a large amplitude ultrasonic cleaner might shake/jar the deposits off
the ceramic. But, don't have one of those handy to try out
{:<(.
I did try some ordinary TCP (and some
specially formulate TCP) used to remove/minimize lead deposits in air
cooled aircraft engines. That did not work either, it appears that
the for the chemical reaction to be effective - it needs the higher
temperatures encountered with air-cooled cylinder heads - the relative
cooler rotary apparently just doesn't get the metal and spark plug hot
enough, long enough - (at least that's my theory).

I wonder id SAG effected spark plugs could be chemically treated
to remove deposits on the ceramic?
When I was in to shooting at Dept
of Civial Marksmanship matches, we used some liquid products to remove
lead and or copper fouling from the barrel, some were for scrubbing,
some for soaking.
Perhaps soaking the ends of the old plugs in bore
cleaner or something? bleach? Carb cleaner? tomato juice? Who
knows?
Just an
idea.
