Sand blasting gas tank
I am getting ready to restore the tank in my 30 ccpu.
Can it be sandblasted? Or should I soda blast it? I am assuming soda will take quite a but longer, so stress on my compressor is a concern.

Re: Sand blasting gas tank
Be sure to plug it up because once there is sand in it, it will not come out unless you cut the thing open!

Re: Sand blasting gas tank
i chose to use paint remover. It was less messy.
Just my thoughts. |

Re: Sand blasting gas tank
An industrial hot water washer with degreaser works great cleaning the inside of the tank
