How is the tank derusted from the inside. It has a lot of crap in it and I want to clean it out. How is it done or is it possible to do? It is an efi bay 76 tank. tom

tom you will find most radiator repair shops also fix fuel tanks..i have used rust converter buy the large container,block the port holes ....put half a doz nuts in the tank and swish it about..this descales the rust.....this is probably the best home remedy..good luck cheers steve

This reminds me, does anyone manufacture aftermarket ABS fuel tanks?
