on a recent post a guy was getting the inside of the gas tank "Renue". I call up my nearest Renue guy and showed him my tank. He said he would have to cut up the tank in order to get to all the places in the tank. He said to get to all the baffles and under the pan he would have to cut holes in the tank. I read where a guy mention a product called caswell plating kit for gas tanks. I made a electrode and used vinegar and a battery to collect the rust. Can I use a slosh and swirl product like caswell to do a good job or does the venue guy have it right?

Buck....
yes there is a baffle mid line in the tank to stop slosh weight trasfer from left to right in the tank....also a round baffle around the fuel line pick up / return holes how bad is your tank? try cleaning your tank first.... I have had good luck over the years using muratic acid to wash out the inside of many fuel tanks..... it will eat the rust off and leave the inside very clean. You just have to be very careful using it....very corrosive and will burn your skin....so safety precautions need to be in place... take all the fittings off the tank and plug up the fuel line holes....pour in and slosh around....rinse out with lots of water.... I have tried sealers and they just don't seem to work very well... really best to find another tank if yours is so bad with pin holes and lots of rust.... |
