How does the inside of my gas tank look to you guys? Do I need to clean and seal it or leave it as is? Thanks, Doug

If those are just surface discolorations that tank is one of the cleanest old tanks I've seen.
Now, I second the use of Metal Ready (What Superhawk996 suggested). If that sock is old, I'd replace it. It looks old. Overall, your tank looks about "as good as it gets" in the "old tank competition". I'd do a little more cleaning but what you have looks "Ready to go" in my book. You got lucky!!! New tanks are cheap but yours looks reusable... |
