The last one I cleaned was much cheaper and worked pretty good. A half tank of E85. Yes,, available at the pump at least in California and somewhat cheaper than gasoline.
I left in a couple of days and shook the car whenever I walked by.

Richard,
I assume that the E85 gas dissolved the residue from the old gas that was left in the tank; however, that wouldn’t take care of any rust in the tank. I suppose you could also use 5 gallons of something like Rust911 for the rust.
