Reply To: Cleaning out aluminum gas tank

[green-thumbs]

Fuel tanks can be clogged with soidified residue of fuel or if left open with cap off can be
home for small rodents who sometimes bring in food items such as acorns.
Lacquer thinner and time will make old fuel into a jelly that can be poured out although
it may take a while and have to be repeated several times to get it all out.
Rodents may carry nasty diseases so chlorine bleach might be first step.
Corrosion may require nuts & bolts and shake,shake,shake.
