The Crust Buster is powered by a 63cc industrial-grade gas engine, ripping at 720 RPMs and weighing 33 pounds. The perfect mix to deliver the muscle and consistent torque needed for aggressive agitation of crust, sludge, and solids. In short: plenty of power where it counts.

The Crust Buster runs a 2-cycle engine with a 40:1 fuel mix. That’s 3.2 oz of 2-cycle oil per gallon of non-ethanol gasoline. Measure it, mix it, run it.Want peak performance? Run Amsoil 2-cycle oil - grab it today!

Fuel Matters. This engine runs a 40:1 mix with non-ethanol gasoline. Ethanol fuel is a no-go; it can damage the engine and will void the warranty.

Ethanol is the usual culprit. It dries out rubber components and attracts moisture. Using non-ethanol gasoline and draining the fuel tank before long storage dramatically extends hose and carburetor life.

Every tank is different, but most jobs take 5 –15 minutes of agitation to properly break up crust, sludge, and solids. If it’s really bad… well, that’s why you own a Crust Buster.

Yes, and that’s where it shines. The Crust Buster is designed to break up heavy crust and compacted solids in long-neglected tanks. A small amount of liquid is needed to get things moving, so add water if the tank is bone dry. These tanks steal your time — the Crust Buster takes it back!

The Crust Buster is built for grease jobs. Our serrated alligator blades can be swapped in for extra bite, cutting through hardened grease and keeping your trap flowing smoothly.

The Crust Buster is built for car wash pits. Our three-blade propeller is purpose-built to lift the sand off the bottom where it settles. Agitate, pump, move on.

Frack yes, the Crust Buster handles frack tanks! It lifts settled solids off the bottom, keeps material moving, and makes pump-outs faster and cleaner. Built to bust up compacted junk so it actually flows.

If it’s deeper than your reach, add extensions. Crust Buster extensions are designed to be combined and get down to the mess. Stack what you need, get down to the problem, and agitate where the solids settle.

Out of sight doesn’t mean out of tank. Sludge is sneaky and loves to linger on the bottom, even in tanks that get pumped often. Cleaner tanks. Happy Customers.

The Crust Buster is safe to use in plastic tanks when used correctly. Know your tank depth, stay off the side walls, and keep it working in the center. The Crust Buster creates a centrifugal flow that pulls solids inward toward you. Stay in control, mind your positioning, and let the machine do the work. Agitation happens in the tank, not against it.

Absolutely. Just remember, water makes the magic happen and gets the sludge on the bottom moving.
