The *only* effective way to clean the interior of a gas tank is to just climb in & go to work. Few people will do that, though. I think that for the most part (in the U.S.), fuel tanks are simply tak

Good point. Muriatic Acid will not be neutralized by the lacquer thinner. It does however completely neutralized with water. I followed a simple regimen, used the MA, flushed with lots of water, fill

regimen, Please permit me a small but potentially important correction - water does not in any way "neutralize" muriatic (hydrochloric) acid. At best, water dilutes the acid--and the more water and t
