Cleaning rust from gas tank
 

Is apple cider vinegar effective for removing rust from gas tank? If so how long do I let it soak?
Thanks

never tried that myself,i have heard of using molasses also. myself i have had good luck using electrolysis. look on youtube for videos

I've used regular vinegar. Soak a day or two, then rinse in acetone to dry it. Then use red kote to seal it.

I use muriatic acid - be careful. Neutralized with baking soda and water. X2 on red coat.

POR 15 makes good products that have worked well for me over the years.

Inside, or outside of the tank?? :bigthink:

Inside the tank

Gravel....
That's how I've cleaned several tanks.

But not these because of the baffle. Honestly, if it's a baffled tank, your better off finding a new one. You can try the other stuff, but tanks aren't that hard to come by.

Shake and Bake?

Shake and rinse.... :biggrin2:

Then I use a shop vac on "blow" in the fill hole while sitting in the sun. Not an exact science by any means.... but overall effective.

My arms get tired of shaking though..... You got kids? :bigthink: :biggrin2::biggrin2::biggrin2:
