<p>A very good product that I can recommend is the KBS Tank clean
and seal process. <br>
</p>
<p>I used it on my SP310 tank which I admit was in pretty good shape
to begin with.</p>
<p>Anyhoo, have a looks at their web site: -</p>

<div>I used LUCAS, Chevron, and a high end expensive rust
inhibitor meant to go in the gas tank after cleaning it.
None of them helped a bit in my case.</div>
<div>So I had it cleaned and sealed at a local shop. the seal
is dark red in color. Worth the $175. No issues anymore. </div>

style="font-size:11pt;">Hi:<br clear="none">
Lots of people use gasoline stabilizers in their
old cars. The major active ingredient in these
products are light mineral oils (so called Pale
oils –kerosene some are diesel fuel) these oils
tend to coat metals and inhibit corrosion-indeed
gasoline is really a very very light mineral oil.
Methyl Alcohol will strip the oil coatings from
metal products. Without these protective films
and with the current composition of gasoline 10
percent ethanol (ethanol contain at least 5 %
water and is hydroscopic so will attract more)
rust is the inevitable consequence. So beware.
Use Ave gas or gas without ethanol in any case if
the protective oil film has been removed recoat
with something like gas stabilizer, kerosene or
Diesel. Diesel is a good substitute for
stabilizers and also offers a cleaning agent
(since it has an automotive detergent built in)
for the SU carbs and float systems.<br

I did something similar but there was an
unfortunate side effect. Once I was done
cleaning it out and switched to gas, it
somehow accelerated the rusting/corrosioin
inside the tank. For ex: My fuel sending
unit was pretty clean. After I was done and
switched to gas, I went from gunk in the tank
to rust. I pulled the fuel sender a few weeks
later and it was rusting terribly. it rusted
more in a month than it had for several years
in a dirty gas tank. I'm not sure why that
happened but it did.<br clear="none">
So I pulled the tank back out and took it to
get sealed. That is what you should do so you
don't have to worry about it anymore. <br
