Subject: [Shop-talk] Gas Tank Restoration

I am in the process of reviving a car that has sat for several years. The g=
as tank was partially full of old gas, which when pumped out brought out a =
lot of rust. As such, I am thinking I will be needing to clean out and rest=
ore the inside of this tank.

Do any of you have experience with any of the gas tank restoration kits on =
the market? If so, please share your experience of using it and how it perf=
ormed over time.

I'm sure others will offer other opinions, such as 'just use muriatic acid'=
, 'just use vinegar', 'just use Coca-Cola', etc... - So, I'll bite: If you =
have actually used something other than a commercial kit, please share thos=
e experiences, too!

Thanks in advance.
