[Roadsters] Gas tank sealing and fuel lines

[Eddie]

Easy clean for a gas tank:

Muriatic acid.  You can buy the stuff at Home Depot.  Pour a couple of 
gallons in the tank, and let it sit.  Depending on how much crap you 
have in the tank will determine how long you want to leave it. 

I did this with a tank that was pretty rusty inside, and it loosened up 
a lot of the crud.

You can also spend about 100 to 200 to have a company use harsher 
chemicals or an electrical process to remove the crud.  More expensive, 
but removes more crud too. 

Fuel Lines:

Blow them out.  Easiest way to go.  If they show signs of deterioration 
or leaking, just replace.

Fuel Filer:

Probably the best, easiest, and cheapest way to go is what you 
described.  A clear plastic disposable filter you can check and see if 
there's crud in it.
