Cleaning Rusty Fuel Tank was created by DoubleDub
I wanted to post this as a pictorial of cleaning my rusty fuel tank innards.
I more or less followed the writeup from the 2005 article on this site found here: kzrider.com/index.php?option=com_content...view&id=22&Itemid=11
All credits to Bill for the original writeup!
I was unable to locate Phosphoric Acid easily, though, so I'm skipping that step. We'll see how it turns out in the end.

The basic process I was going to use:
1. Seal the petcock cavity with duct tape.
2. Add an abrasive material (my old head nuts in this case).
3. Add Muriatic Acid.
4. Agitate.
5. Drain.
6. Repeat steps 3 through 6 until clean enough.
7. Rinse with water.
8. Spray the inside with WD-40 or other light oil to prevent flash rusting.
