How do I clean my fuel tank?

[Defiant]

I just picked up a fuel tank from another member, but the inside is a little grimy, and has a little rust.

What is the best way to clean it?

There are many ways. This is one of them. I have always used a place called Redi-strip. Not sure if you have one in your town, but there has beed one in the last three towns that I have lived in! Sometimes you can find a radiator repair shop that will still be willing to boil them for you.

To do it right you have to pickle the tank (to remove all rust) and then have it tinned.
