I have this oil tank from a /6 thats going in my car, any recommendations on cleaning it? Can't sandblast it.

Looks nice enough that you might not have to strip and replate with copper & paint. Maybe just a citris cleaner? But you should still get the inside very clean/rust free. Pressure test is also a good idea so you don't install and find an oil leak.
I've read posts that the late model cars have door reinforcement inside the fender that interferes with the tank and might need some clearance. |
