I've got minor surface rust on the interior of my fuel tank. Since I'm pulling the tank out for other maintenance, I might as well handle this too.
Any thoughts on the best way to handle this job? I know there is some controversy about the Eastwood/POR kits. thanks, Rusty |

If its truly surface & you want to DIY simply go to favorite store PU a few gals of some apple cider vinegar with a min. 5% acidity fill rotate every couple of days rinse out with water dry & fill with fresh petrol

QUOTE(914werke @ Sep 23 2019, 11:59 AM)  If its truly surface & you want to DIY simply go to favorite store PU a few gals of some apple cider vinegar with a min. 5% acidity fill rotate every couple of days rinse out with water dry & fill with fresh petrol That's what I did with one 914 tank and a couple motorcycle tanks. It will rust very quickly once the vinegar is cleaned out so if you aren't filling it up with gas, coat with some Marvel Mystery oil or similar. |
