[T3] Gas tank cleaning

[Know One]

I suspended my tank from the rafters in my garage, added some chain and kerosene. Sloshed it around to get the chain to scour the internal surfaces of the tank. Turned it upside down and all around to get everywhere.

Note that I don't have the intricate passages that an FI tank has, but the methodology would be the same. Kerosene is tough to ignite, has some oil in it, and would also coat the tank a bit.

I drained the tank, installed it, and filled it with gas and drove it. Well, until I found out my main bearings were on their way out.

Hmm, reminds me that I need to check and fill my tank to reduce the air space that allows water to condense and form spots to rust.
