Yes, Mr. Cole is correct. Dropping the pan for a clean is the only way to go. I had a bit of oily slime on motor components as viewed from the bottom looking up, but the sludge in the bottom of pan was too hard for kerosene to have done anything...that's putty knife action and then clean it spotless with kerosene. I have the 110 six and 120 eight engines. I believe I saw where Packard advised dropping the pan for a clean yearly, but perhaps with faithful oil changes and a bypass filter I can eliminate that yearly.
I have used Henry's Radiator Shop in Beckley,WV many times for gas tank work. The Packard was the highest I ever paid at about $250. Perhaps that sounds like a lot, but it's peace of mind for me. GasTank Renu stands behind the work and I have never had any tank failures since using them in the early 90's.
