[AT] Old gas residue

[Larry D. Goss]

Why not buy a Kreme kit from your local cycle shop and do the whole
routine of cleaning it out, neutralizing it, and recoating the interior
of the tank with a kit that's designed for that purpose?

	I don't have a problem with my old tractors but I have a Honda
motorcycle that sat for almost 20 years with gas in the tank and carb.
Will this Red Devil lye work OK in a light tank too?  I know that I will
have to be careful as this stuff is caustic. Which would be better for
the carb - Red Devil lye or lacquer thinner?
