[Healeys] Gas Tank Restoration

[Michael Shepard]

I did what Spidell did, Bill Hirsh prep/coat products, 20 years ago. My original BJ8 tank.  Probably outlast me.

The gas tank was partially full of old gas, which when pumped out brought out a lot of rust. As such, I am thinking I will be needing to clean out and restore the inside of this tank.
Do any of you have experience with any of the gas tank restoration kits on the market? If so, please share your experience of using it and how it performed over time.
I'm sure others will offer other opinions, such as 'just use muriatic acid', 'just use vinegar', 'just use Coca-Cola', etc... - So, I'll bite: If you have actually used something other than a commercial kit, please share those experiences, too!
Thanks in advance.
