question: after all this chemical cleaning, are the tanks ever sealed on the inside ??
from what I have been finding on the interweb is that all the automotive gas tank sealers
are not alcohol tolerant.
I am refurbishing 3 of the 6 gallon OMC steel gas tanks. There are no leaks in the metal.
no pin holes, etc. So I am thinking a good shake shake shake with some rocks
then the chemical clean, baking soda, rince and dry – then just put gas in it and go !!
