    Mine actually wasn't too bad, dirty outside but not inside, It may have been done by the previous owner. I had the tank off for painting, so i thought I would do the petcock,at the same time.

    Couldn't resist a little red also, no one will know it's there, but me.

    Parts just arrived, so it's time to put it all back together.
