i was just wondering if i could wash my gas tank in the sink with dish soap???????

just don't open it up and plug the pressure fitting and the fuel fitting

Its fine, leave it open to wash any residou inside. I do it all the time, results are a clean tank Unless all you want to clean is the exterior

why would you need to clean the interirior?

Why not[:-]

why would you?

yeah my tank is looking preatty dirty on the ooutside k thanks

Sure. Just rinse it out good and allow it to dry completely before using it again.[8D]

sounds good

ive used a few of my tanks in the water.. i just fill them up with water, shake, and wash... then i will let them dry, and sometimes speed that up and use a hair dryer

I don't know bout you guys but I have managed to get contaminants inside my tank that required me to use my spare and wash the inside of the other out. It's totally do-able, just make sure its dried good.

I would wash the inside with nitro fuel if I thought it needed it.

Ive cleaned the inside once, i used dish soap and warm water, and cleaned it our, i let it dry for a while then rinsed it thoroughly with pure methanol. It gets rid of all the water

water is cheaper then nitro fuel though I would wash mine inside if I thought it needed it.

Go to your local drug store and get an .80 cent 16 oz of Isopropyl Alcohol (warning do not drink this it could cause death) this aint ever clear for you country boys poor about 1 or 2 ounces into the tank and shake the truck like your pissed off at it but don't throw it down please, it might land on your toe[:@] after shaking, [sm=confused_smile.gif] open the fuel tank lid and drain out the alcohol. warning do not do this over the grass because it will leave brown spots and your wife or Dad will not like that at all. also do not hold the truck over your head and open the fuel tank so you can see the alcohol drain out, it could get in your eyes and that would burn like hell.[sm=cry_smile.gif] remove your fuel lines and clean them with the alcohol also and if your real dumb put masking tape on the lines and the carb,fuel tank, muffler and the seperate inlets and mark them with a pen so you know where to put them back. Now if your in a hurry and have a compressor you could blow all the parts till there pretty and clean. And there you have it a nice cheap way to clean your tank and not get soap in your mouth while cleaning because it was hanging open in amazement because of all those bubbles it would make. Besides this could happen when you go to the lake to rinse it out[sm=drowning.gif]

i'm just saying...why would naybody need to clean the inside? just fel goes in it
