I have not done an oil tank ,but I have taken two fuel tanks to Sims Radiator in Chamblee , GA . They are right near a large private airport and I'm sure they do a lot of aircraft work.

They were located way over in decatur years ago. , by the way. They know what they are doing and how best to handle the oil tank., you should still perform the final cleaning steps yourself, as explained previously. |
