Why not mention putting some masking tape on the underside of the tanks so they don't get scratched up? It's a lot easier than having to remove the tanks, sand, prep and respray to prevent an eventual rust hole from that time "the stupid angle needle nose pliers slipped" ! Not to mention flushing the shreds of filter out, or just blow it out with high air pressure. I've been doing this a long time and I don't care if it's a jet engine or a Hog engine, proper set up and the proper tools go a long way in preventing " New" problems. Just my humble opinion.....
