cleaning out gas tank
If you are through fooling around with sophisticated questionable remedies, remove the tank and get it over with.
Take it to a do-it-yourself car wash and put in the quarters. Use soap. Rinse. Then put in a container of Mr. Clean and a like amount of water and a handful of SHARP STONES. Not river gravel that is rounded. You want sharp corners... lots of them.
Rock the tank back and forth for 10 minutes. Change the position of the tank and to it again so that the stones get a chance to work on all the surfaces of the tank.
Dump out the contents. You may need a wet/dry vac to get all the stones out. Don''t worry. They will all come out. Look inside. You should have a nice, new looking, shiny tank. I did. Mine was an A4 in my Bristol 32 that had a quarter of an inch of crud in the bottom. It is monel. It now is like new.
