In Reply to: Muratic Acid to Clean Gas Tank posted by John on January 13, 2002 at 13:31:00:
I used Eastwood's tank sealer to seal a gas tank for a C. One of the steps with the Eastwood sealer kit was to use muratic acid. Don't recall where that was in the sequence, but I think a rust remover was used before the muratic. There was another metal etch prep somewhere in there too. You need to get as much loose rust out first before you do anything. There are better rust removers than the muratic, I think. The muratic will be to etch the surface in preparation for the sealer system after you have most of the rust out. If you do use muratic what you want to do after is wash the tank several times with water, gallon or so of water, slosh around, pour out and repeat at least 3 or 4 times. Then use acetone to get the water out. pour in about a pint of acetone, slosh around and pour it out. Do this about 4 times as well to dry the water out. Do the acetone outside away from any ignition sources, and also in the shade it's very flammable and volatile and will evaporate quickly in the heat of the sun, even at fairly low temp. With the muratic, be sure to wear protective clothing, rubber apron, gloves and eye protection.
