    Your motor has a steel tank on it so you can use muriatic (hydrochloric) acid if you are careful followed by a thorough rinse with a baking powder solution. It acts quickly and is nasty stuff so safety precautions must be used. You don’t want this stuff anywhere near an aluminum tank unless you have a spare tank in your stash.
