[QUOTE="Slonishku, post: 748372, member: 19346"] Me drilling: [IMG]https://farm5.static.flickr.com/4058/4667901119_7f44f85540_b.jpg[/IMG] The magnets did a good job of collecting metal shavings. There was some, but not a lot, in the catch cap inside the tank. Essentially none fell onto the t-shirt, and only a few flecks were left in the tank when all was removed. [IMG]https://farm5.static.flickr.com/4032/4668527626_55084b0e31_b.jpg[/IMG] Alternating compressed air and a shop vac, I got the tank completely free of debris. Worth noting, most of the debris consisted of small bits of skin shaved from along the sides of my hand each time I pulled my hand from the tank. The inside of the puel pump openning is sharp, and I have big bear paw hands. You can see an abrasion on my hand here at the base of my thumb. There's a matching one on each hand now... The fuel cell in the background is the one sitting on my RE5 used in the Iron Butt Rally last year. :rolleyes: [IMG]https://farm2.static.flickr.com/1295/4668531212_c7d6f78ddd_b.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
