Fixing a rusty fuel tank

[massey collector]

You can fool around and mess around if you wish to save a penny or two.

Just do it right the first time and never worry about it again.

I did the gas tank that had a bunch of pin holes in 1996 that is on my Massey Harris 101 tractor. it is still holding gasoline today.

All you want to do it is get the loose flaky rust removed. the rest of it is sealed under the sealer for ever.

Kreem is the name our local Harley dealer carries. Three part chemical, one of them is phosphoric acid not muriatic acid.

Works great

Yes!
A product with phosphoric acid is the one to use.

I used pool PH plus and a battery charger recently to clean out a rusty generator tank. Took 24hrs but no costic acids that can rust every thing else in my garage. It also only removes the rust, not the metal.

I have found that useing a chain with a string attached makes cleaning gas tanks real easy. Just pull the string out when done. No messing around with gravel or nuts and bolts.
