I have a 1954 TR2.=C2=A0 I redid it about 12 years ago, and it ran great.=
=C2=A0 Unfortunately, I had some health issues, and it sat until recently.=
=C2=A0 I am redoing all of the brakes, clutch cylinder, carbs, fuel pump, e=
tc.=C2=A0 I found thick black tarry stuff in the sediment bowl of the fuel =
pump and bottoms of the carbs.=C2=A0 I removed the gas tank, and it appears=
the same stuff is in there.=C2=A0 So, I am attempting to clean out the gas=
tank.=C2=A0 I used muriatic acid, low dilution, and now there are sheets o=
f rust like material coming lose, and the black stuff seems to still be in =
the bottom.=C2=A0 I would like to have it dipped in a hot tank, but can't f=
ind one in California (where I live) or Reno NV.
Does anyone have any suggestions?=C2=A0 Either a hot tank business in CA or=
NV? I have thought about taking it to a welder, have the top cut off, sand=
