After sloshing out the loose rust, the next thing to do is loosen up some more rust with trusty hydrochloric acid. This is me taping up all but one of the holes on the gas tank. What a cluttered garage! Sorry.
Pouring in the acid before the shaky-shake.
Sloshing through and acid rinsed out, I filled it up with Marine Clean, which is apparently some sort of biological degreaser that will eat any remaining varnish (old gas). I got some good sloshing in, but the next day the weather turned cold and probably killed all the degreaser.

With all this de-greasing experience, you might be recruited to the oil spill clean-up efforts in the Gulf.
You REALLY do "spring cleaning"! He's gona be one cool dude when he's back on the road...
I'm curious, how does one go about disposing of hydrochloric acid when you're all through with it?
@BMMSBen--One pours a bunch of baking soda in it, steps back for a few seconds, and then dumps it in the alley out back.
Alright,
Mitch.
