<DIV>There is a process where you mix washing soda (Sodium Carbonate) and water,
pour it in the tank and apply electricity from a battery charger. The tank
gets one lead and a sacrificial steel rod gets another. The rust is attracted to
the sacrificial steel. I used the process on a steel file and was amazed
at how it worked. Obviously one needs to ensure the charger leads/steel don’t
short out but that is easy with any form of insulating material (tape, rubber,
plastic etc.). There are How To’s and videos all over the internet about the
process. Some might also recommend a coating of phosphoric acid (then thoroughly
dry) before applying the sealer. The Sodium Carbonate and the Phosphoric
Acid should both be available at pool supply stores. My city has a Toxic
recycle site and they offer things like this for free (when in stock).
>From there use the most reliable sealer which I’ve read is very debatable.</DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=3>Greetings from Chicago home of the Cubs.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=3></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=3>Would appreciate any comments, references, for cleaning and
reseal of Tiger or Alpine gas tanks. Also the name of any shop who performs this
from start to finish. Midwest area would be best as freight now days can kill a
lot of projects or turn a bargain into a expensive venture.</FONT></DIV><FONT
