New subscriber here. Just wondering how your first stove you repainted is holding up. The high temperature silver paint you used on certain parts of it I'm really curious to see how that's held up after you've used it. Could you do a video and show us close-ups of it to see how the paint is held up? I would really appreciate it thank you.
@@NCPiedmontOutdoorssorry lol. Forgot to include some words lol. I inherited this 424 from my mom, but last time it was used was about 30 years ago. It still has what feels like 1/2 tank of fuel in it. I'm struggling to get the old fuel out. I was able to get it to light a couple times, but I'm feeling like old fuel is causing me grief
@michaeljensen1643 so, if you got most of it out, there could be some moisture in the tank as well. 1 person. Recommended adding fresh fuel and some high heat and that would help burn off any moisture. But I never did that so I would be careful. But I think if you got as much out as you could then added some fresh coleman fuel and give it a good burn you would be okay. Not sure if coleman has anything on the website.
@michaeljensen1643 my guess is if you only have a small amount in there, filling it up with fresh fuel and doing a long burn should get most of it all out. You could try to use a sponge that you cut down and use on a small wooden bowl, but make sure you attack the sponge well, you don't want that left in the tank.
You can use 00 & 0000 steel wool to finish in the future before paint. That being said, excellent use of brass wheels for the worst of it.
@stevenrogers4832 yeah, it was in such bad shape, I felt I needed the drill brush.

@charlesartificer2158 sure no problem. The paint is fine, but does turn blackish with the flame. Thanks for subscribing and I will do an update.
My 424 is perfect, but how do I get 30 fuel out of the tank?
@@michaeljensen1643 not sure what you mean

@@NCPiedmontOutdoorsbut how best to get the old out? With all the indents on the tank, I can't pour it out. Siphon I guess?
