I am moving my fuel pump and drained the tank for the hose hook up etc. I looked deep inside and noticed a little residue on the bottom. I am going to pull the screen too, might be more there.
Is there something to use to flush the tank that is not fuel? This will be with the tank in place. I am NOT taking it out. Scope creep is killing me and I am already missing the best part of the driving season. |

I bought one from "parts geek" for my 75 BEFORE I even looked at the one I have.
Was about 250 all in... Stupid cheap IMO. If you tank is nice inside and just needs a little cleaning, I'd try what I suggested. Lacquer thinner might be kick ass as well. I've used oven cleaner extensively in cleaning up cast iron engine blocks. That can CREATE corrosion so be really careful if you try it. If you get it into the air, it will give you tiny little chemical burns for every microscopic drop that hits you. MONSTER PPE for caustic cleaners and then MONSTER rinse out with first a low flow garden hose and then a pressure washer... I believe the tank should come out for oven cleaner. Now, oven cleaner works better than ANYTHING else for cleaning ferrous metals. It DESTROYS alloys so NO overspray on anything alloy. |
