fuel tank cleaning

<< < (2/2)

Waggles:
+ 1 ( sort of ) for the Frosts products, I used their 'Marine clean' followed by 'Metal ready'

Incidentally, I found the surface submerged in metal ready was completely rust free but when left went rusty again very quickly ( which if it truely left a layer of zinc on it I don't think it would! ) so once treated and drained I recommend spraying with WD40 or something to protect it until you fill it with petrol ( or fill it with petrol straight away of course )

Seamus:
Used to be an article on cleaning/derusting the inside of a tank electrolytically on the US site, but a quick look on google shows some youtube vids that look promising.
(May have the article saved somewher, but will have to look)

Waggles:
Yes, seen that on an old episode of 'Cafe racer' ( unfortunately after I had cleaned mine ) worked very well. I beleive they just used an old bolt as an electrode connected to a battery charger, can't remember what they used for electrolyte tho.

Seamus:
I am pretty sure that washing soda was the electrolyte.

Still have some digging to do

Have cleaned a couple of tanks by putting in some washed fish tank gravel then wrapping with bubble wrap and any old blankets coats etc then putting in cement mixer making sure it won't move switch on and no effort req'd just reposition a couple of times empty and rinse out. Had very good results.
