Hello everyone, I will be cleaning and sealing my gas tank. I spoke with a fellow that said remove the gas, flush it out with water. Then add one gallon of muratic, the slush it around, empty the tank then flush with water. After that, to one gallon of water add baking soda, sloshing it around. Then after that emptying and rinsing, dry, add the tank sealer. Does this sound right? Thanks, Monte

 

Monte, I'd look over the instructions for the sealer thoroughly and see what they recommend. If you've been monitoring the forum the last couple of days, there are a couple of threads on gas tanks and I think at least one of them has some recommendations about taking it to a radiator shop to have it done. If I recall, prices from $75 to $200 were mentioned. Might be an option if you haven't already invested in the sealant kit.

 

I am not familiar with muratic acid as far as handling it, but please read the instructions on it carefully. I assume you need hand and eye protection. Just a guess. Please read.

 

Please let us know if you do this, and it works, and about how much $ you have in the chemicals, etc, as mine is in pretty rough shape also.
