If you take it to a radiator place make sure they don't put any access holes in it.
I got a ruined 911 gas tank that way. I was able to clean up a varnishy / rusty gas tank was with a product from this company. safest rust remover.com This stuff has no terrible odor and is water soluable. I'm familiar with 6 oil tanks. Probably best to imerse the tank a few times in various positions to insure complete contact on all interior surfaces. I kept the solution warm by placing a heat lamp nearby. The pressure test is a good idea and a radiator shop can certainly do that. Contact me if I can help. Rory |
