Post by: paulbaker1954 on September 07, 2018, 12:40:26 AM
I am fitting a new petcock in a week or so and wanted to take the opportunity to give the tank a good clean out, any recommendations welcome as to how to get any low lying bits/shrapnel out

The tank is in good nick inside I just want to clean it out
