meadowfield 2,545 #1 Posted January 22, 2011 Hi all, my K241 is going together nicely and I've cleaned most of the tin work in the e tank. Does anyone have any good/bad experiences using the tank to clean the muffler? Obviously it will work, but are there any downsides? if it's just an empty can then theres not much to worry about - if it's full of glass fibre or wirewool then soaking it in water might not be the best idea... thanks in advance mark Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aussie 98 #2 Posted January 25, 2011 Mark I cleaned the muffler for my 16hp Onan in my e tank and it came up really well. I'm really happy with how well it turned out as it had a lot of surface rust. It doesn't have any packing inside though. regards Kym Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
1961551 2 #3 Posted January 25, 2011 some of the guys here will say not do this. but it works. i put mine in the wood heater for about 6 or 8 minutes. burns all carbon out. mine were not filled with fiber. or if they were , there not now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kelly 1,028 #5 Posted January 25, 2011 I don't know of any factory WH that has a packing in it, they are just steel baffles, you should be good, but it will not clean the inside very good, but should do the outside just fine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
meadowfield 2,545 #6 Posted January 25, 2011 great, I'm not worried about the inside... you can't see that ! I just want to clean up the outside before I spray it. thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VinsRJ 721 #7 Posted January 25, 2011 I've had good luck cleaning mufflers in my e-tank. Just remember to paint or coat it soon after. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
