Fuel oil tank clean out, how?

[Slippy]

Found an old fuel oil tank to convert for diesel fuel. Anyone know the best way to clean it out? Thought about sticking my power washer wand in it.

I would recommend a good flush out with a de greaser first, even leaving it in the tank to soak in for a couple of days.
secure a small brush on to a rod so you can clean the inside as much as possible.

Using a steam cleaner is a good idea for old tanks.

If you think that there is rust flaking off inside then check with your local trail bike shop, there has been a product out for a while that seals the inside of rusty tanks

It may also be a good idea to use a sedamant bowl on the outlet of the tank to catch any initial gunk before it gets to the filters.

Good Luck
