I have the fans and the upgrade alternator all awaiting installation. after a D turbo swap and an aeroturbine muffler, the fan and the transmission are the loudest parts of my deuce. after this the transmission will be it and I have sound deadening, insulation, and carpet to help with that.

tests have shown that mixing in a percentage of gasoline (10%) with no heat has completed the seperation of the foam. from that point pumping it through a spin on water seperator with a clear drain bowl should help eliminate it. you could also try to syphon/drain off the bottom of the tank...
