I've got an early DC-4 and has the dual fuel gas tank. It has sat empty in the barn for around 27 years until now that I'm restoring it. The inside has flaky scale rust in it, but the tank is still good. What is the best way to refurbish this tank? Is there a sealer or something like it to use? Thanks.. -Mark

Eastwood sells a gas tank cleaning and recoating kit. You need to add muriatic acid and acetone. It is not environmentally friendly but it works. Would also suggest adding BB's or some old nuts or some pieces of chain (depending on the degree of internal rust)and tumbling the tank for while to descale the inside before you start the recoating process.
