Deox-C ordered. Is it crime once I've used this to pour some engine oil and swill it around for storage. I can wash it out later with petrol

Probably not ...I think Honda applied some type of protective oil  to spare part tanks. I think the key is to prevent flash rusting after de-rusting but there is not the same flash rusting with DeOx-C that you get with mineral acids such as  hydrochloric (brick cleaner). Phosphoric acid isn't bad as it phosphates the metal and I think is provided with  some tank liner kits but you won't go far wrong with Deox-C.

I fill my tanks with diesel for storage. Once out of storage, drain diesel, rinse out with petrol and it is ready to go  ;)

Can I have the diesel when you drain it :D I know .99p a litre ;) ;)

the 'after' shot. I let it soak 2 days ;D

that deox-c worked really well. I'm trying an experiment with the remainder, got a bucket of it mixed, dunked in a couple of rusty parts.
