Re: gas tank ???
If it's not rusty inside just drain the old gas out and put new gas in.

Re: gas tank ???
That tank should come out. Depending on how much fuel it is, it's not heavy or difficult to remove. The muratic acid is the cheapest way to clean it. If you aren't a fan of acid, I used por15 cleaner, followed by por15 metal ready to remove any rust.

Re: gas tank ???
sorry for the slow return but I just decided to replace it .... What a hassle it has been ... Ordered one waited for a week got it ... it was beat to a shamble sent it back waited because it was back ordered.... gave up because it was taking to long to get it called and canceled order and purchased from someone else today..... I sure hope it doesn't come in beat up....
