Fuel Tank cleaning Options

[Rusty]

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

Thanks for the advice, Rob.

Chemical burns? Yikes. What would you have chosen instead of duct tape?

Long time ago, I remember someone recommending taking a tank to a radiator shop for boiling. I wonder if that would strip the paint off the exterior? I'd rather not have to paint the outside.

I had my tank commercially "boiled out" without realizing that process would also remove the external mounts for the vapor tank and charcoal canister. I later discovered I could have bought a replacement tank for less that the boiling cost. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

The external mounts are not welded? Can they removed and mounted on a new reproduction Dansk tank?
