Cleaning the Fuel Tank of the 65 - Any Idea

[bubby-joe]

Hi All,

I am restoring an r65 1981 model.
I am in the process of cleaning up my Fuel Tank borne by a rusted out Fuel Cap which has contaminated the inners.
The inner lining of the tank seem to have rusted flakes thus clogging the fuel line to the carbs.

Appreciate any idea on how to fully clean and restore the Fuel Tank.
Thanks

You might try a radiator shop to clean the inside worked for me in the past but it will require repainting after but the good news is the rust will be history, you should also use a tank sealer before putting it back into service.
