cleaning an old tank
« on: November 02, 2007, 09:15:07 PM »
I just got another bike yesterday and the tank has some old gas that's in the sludge/varnish state. What's the best way to clean it out and not damage the tank? acetone? Add bolts and shake well? drain and don't worry about it?
my 78 CB750 was stolen in Portland a couple years back. I'm on the hunt for a new project in Phx
