3000 Honda Generator..... getting ice and dirt out.

There is ice and dirt in the fuel tank.  Probably from condensation in the 5 gal jugs he fills for Vikki to use.  
This cleaning out ..... should have been done in the summer time.  Then Bryan would have been able to pour hot water in it and let it drain out the bottom and used cotton swabs to clean out the dirt......... instead of having to dismantle the whole thing.  Quite the job.

Fuel tank is in the warm cabin ..... the ice turned to water and drained out.

Bryan cleaned these with either.

Either for cleaning small parts.  It took about 3 hours to take it apart and put it back together, but there were lots of going back into the warm cabin to get his fingers working again.  The generator worked great again.  This 3000 Honda uses 1/4 the amount of fuel the 5000 Honda does.
