Default Re: Gas tank cleaning

LOL You are Correct! I used the "Spin it on a tractor tire" method, with a hand full of gravel too. The worst part was getting the gravel out afterward. I think next time I'll put the gravel in a sock or something. However, I don't like this method. It's not getting 100%. It's OK as a first pass. But I would want at least a second shot at the rust. I believe in being more thorough.
