Any tips on cleaning out the gas tank?
My car was a little fuel starved... discovered debris from sitting for four years. |

I have used a piece of chain and lacquer thinner...
Chain was easier to get out then lots of little fasteners. But if you cannot pick up the tank and turn it around, a radiator shop will boil it out for a fee. |

If your DIYing then sharp gravel is an option |
