I got over my laziness and pulled the gas tank off my Servi-Car. Took maybe 5 minutes.
Lots of rust and scale in tank. Used trisodium phosphate (TSP) cleaner in hot water to flush it out several times. Lots of crud came out. Then flushed it several more times with clean hot water and hung it over the wood stove to dry.
Is there anything I can do with this tank with typical household stuff? It still has quite a rusty interior surface but most of the scale and loose crap is out of it.
What I have on hand is: oven cleaner, Extend (rust treatment), carb cleaner, Purple Power, bleach, stuff like that.
Should I use any of that stuff on a rusty gas tank to clean it out better?
Thanks!
