My experience has always been (at the expense of others) that you will only be able to aggitate what is in the center of the tank. The normal problem areas are behind the baffles on the top, --and the sides of the baffles themselves. Look at these pictures and visualize just how difficult it is to get aggragate in thru the cracks between the tank walls and the baffles (--and out again) PLUS get it to scrape the areas you are wanting to de-rust.
Honestly, I get many tanks in here that have been "spun & sealed" and as you can see in the pictures, the rust continues and soon thereafter the sealer turns loose and the problem resurfaces. Also note the green fish aquarium rocks that were used during a restorers tank spins, --and then "left behind" when he couldn't get them out. It is also worth noting that even though they were used, it never really de-rusted what the owner had intended, --or thought he had accomplished!
I could also fill this page with pictures of nicely painted gas tanks off of restored automobiles that are loaded with sediment. My suggestion when you find a tank is that bad, is to find an alternate method or tank.
Steam cleaner
Hi so i hope your not ever going to use a flame near it as explosions happen. Inside best washed out with clean gasoline. Out side wire brush off old paint and repaint with a paint brush.
- Is it normal to have to fill the gas tank of a 2000 ford Taurus se every week? Don't laugh. I'm ignorant about cars and this is my first one. I own a 2000 Taurus station wagon. I drive 6 miles to work and 6 miles back every day and don't drive many other places than that. I live in the city. I'm filling my tank every week and my boyfriend says that's way too much. He says I should replace the spark plugs. Would he be correct?

- Best way to clean rims on a 2001 ford mustang gt? So I'm cleaning my dad's mustang in the summer for a huge car show… I already have the automotive soap, quick detailer, carnauba wax, claybar etc… But no rim cleaner because I'm sorta on a budget now that I spent a bunch… What would you do to clean the hell out of some rims? Should I wash the rims, clay bar, then wax?
