Re: Integral Tank Cleaning With Ammonia

[green-thumbs]

A steel tank with about 1/3 full of very old very solid fuel residue…used straight lacquer thinner after a few days in hot sun some residue soften into a jelly that could be poured out into coffee can, separated lacquer thinner and poured it back into tank for another few days
and poured out jelly, separated the liquid and repeated until fuel residue was gone.
Then used Strong Ammonia (hardware store item) and air rifle BB’s to shake rattle and roll
to remove a small amount of corrosion
There are other and perhaps better methods. This worked for me and I would use it
again if needed.
