[AT] Rusting gas tank

[Will Powell]

Yes, I have also tried the media inside of the tank. Used bb's. Actually made a tank rotisserie. It worked, kind of. Had to change the positioning of the tank to make the aggregate reach all surfaces... It was a pain. The Eastwood chemical etching did a better job. The eastwood kid did not include the muriatic acid which probably did the most cleaning.... Here's a link to the rotisserie in operation.

A guy also told me that he took his motorcycle tanks, wrapped them in a blanket and put them in the dryer.... Another guy said he used draino.... 

Regards, 

Will in SE PA.

I tried the handful of nuts and bolts thing one time. Never ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever again. Takes forever to do any good and you can't get the @#@!@ nuts and bolts out easily. I like to use muriatic acid and water and then coat it with something.
