It took me a while to realize the rust colored crud inside my gas tank wasn't rust, but some material the previous owner tried to line the tank with. I haven't a clue what it is but it appears to be like wrinkle paint and its fouling my carbs.(I need a better filter)
I am open to suggestions for a process to get this stuff out. Acid? I had the tank soaking in CLR for weeks (before I realized what it was). No need to tell you how difficult it is to get at the Tanks surface to get a decent sample. I don't believe I can attempt using another liner material untill I clean out the old stuff. Does anyone have an Idea, short of a new tank??
