petrol tank cleaning
hi all
i thought it is about time to give the info how to clean old petrol tank,as i just did the one on my peugeot 203.
dont bother with por 15 as it will pill off and make more problems,realy waste of money .i think it is $100 for the kit
do it your self you need soloution of hydrochloric acid ,you can buy in pool shops but it is nasty in risky job and will have to be neutraliazed with soda bicarb .will be good for small tanks like motor bike .you can read about it by googling how to clean petrol tanks.
the best way ,and yes you may have to spend some money is to go to radiator place .there is national one
called natrad which dip your tank in caustic in it comes clean .it is $120 worth while . you will have to keep the tank full if you dont use the car too often.mine was more complicated
as there was a lot of rubish inside and had to be opened from the top ,and a new mesh was soldered at the outlet pipe on the bottom of the tank.i must say it is well spent as i have no more problem of fuel line blocage.
if you want more info you can always contact me
cheers ron
