Wanted to let you guys/gals know that 'The Works' toilet bowl cleaner DOES work for cleaning out tanks, rusted, grimey, etc. I've done three tanks (and so have some other forum members) now and was skeptical at best. This stuff does what it says. Costs under $2.

You can google the method, but in a nutshell,

remove tank

empty tank

remove petcock

remove fuel sending unit

tape or plug up those holes

empty 50% of 'the works' into tank

fill remainder with water

allow to sit for 15-20 mins

shake and twirl to coat inside of tank

add more 'the works' if needed

allow to sit

drain

rinse with water

coat with acetone, gas, or a water absorbing liquid

allow to air dry for 24 hours

put gas in

go ride

Vinegar works great too. Cleaned many tanks with it.
