Re: Cleaning gas tank?

FWIW; I drained my tank, let it dry, and ran a chain around in it using water to rinse out all the rust and crap. When I got done, I rinsed it out again real well, poured all the water out, then poured in maybe a half gallon of old kerosene and rinsed it with that to get rid of the water. Seems to have worked fine. Still had a little bit of flash rusting, but I didn't plug/haven't plugged any fuel filters up as a result.
