[Shop-talk] Gas Tank Restoration

[Moose]

I'd be interested in this as well.  I have a diesel bulldozer that needs 
it's tank cleaned out. I was thinking of just cutting the tank in half, 
cleaning it and welding it back together.

I understand there are safety concerns, but it's diesel, so it will just 
burn and smoke, not exploded.  (unless I'm doing my math wrong.) 8>)

I am in the process of reviving a car that has sat for several years. 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.
