Scored a in cab tank today.

I got an in cab gas tank today from a buddy I work with for free! Can't beat that deal but it needs cleaned out on the inside. Suggestions on where to have it done?

Auto machine shop with a "hot tank"; if such a thing actually still exists today.

Re: Scored a in cab tank today.

I use a mixture of muriatic acid (swimming pool acid) and water to remove the crud, then POR15 tank sealer. I've done some truly awful tanks and they always turn out super.

Re: Scored a in cab tank today.

Last one I had done, a 64 mgb, I dropped off at a radiator shop that did gas tanks, they coated the inside and outside with some crap that turns hard as a rock and is gas proof. Looked super good, cost about a $150, but unfortunately those tanks were year specific and hard to find, it had holes in it going in, was leak proof coming out. I think DIY is cheaper though. Especially if your doesn't leak.
