I never have found a good way of cleaning one.. a friend said to use rocks and shake it up, but one spark and i got a bomb on my hands.. cant weld either. I have found the cause though.. our new ethonal fuel holds water in it and rusts metal tanks fast..if you see a sticker on the pump where you fuel up saying it has Ethonal id switch brands

Buy a gas tank renewal kit by a company like Eastwood. It is a few step process with different chemicals that etches, and then seals(as long as the holes aren't real big) with another chemical. Harley riders have been using the similiar process for years. I think their address is Eastwoodcompany.com. I am sure other companies make the same product, but this is the one that I have been around. Good luck!

I have done this a hundred times, buy some Muratic acid from a local pool store. Put it in and shake it up real good, if it keeps coming out yellow that means it is still getting rust out, do this until it is relatively clean. Next clean the paint off from around the hole, and put some JB weld on it. We do it all the time where I work and have never had one fail when done right.
