Anyone know who to clean the inside of a gas tank / rust without tank removal?

Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated big time!
Thanks

I dont think you can do a good job without agitation or a chem dip like a radiator shop does. It would require harsher chemicals like muratic acid and you would need several gallons to get up walls of the tank since you cant shake it.

I was looking at you tube. Someone said vinegar and baking soda.
Just got into baywindows do you really have to take out the eng to take out the tank ?

You don't need to remove the engine to remove the tank, but it is a lot easier to do so.

It is even easier to remove the engine and transmission in one fell swoop.

How do you go about doing it?

Having a buddy helps. Having a hard surface floor also helps.


It also gives you a great opportunity to clean up all sorts stuff in there and to learn more about your bus.
