the pumpkin's gas tank has black flakes in it when I looked with the borescope. Should I have it cleaned(boiled?) out or should I get a new one. If cleaned out do radiator shops do that?
Thanks Renee |

I am in the process of cleaning out my gas tank. I used electrolysis to pull out the rust. Ran the process for a week.
DM me if you want to chat about the process.      Now I'm going to use the KBS gas tank sealing kit as the final step. George |
