Default Re: Cleaning the gas tank in place?

A recommendation if you decide to flush it while it's still on the car is to get another fuel line and cut it before it goes into the sediment bowl. You can also use a barbed nipple attached to the shut off as well.


Attach some cheap hose with a hose clamp to the cut end and have enough length of hose to run it away from the car. This will help with the mess that comes out of tank and preserve the interior of the car.

After it all drains out, get a rubber pressurizing cap at the hardware store and add air to the tank. This will help get all the remaining moisture out of the tank.

Last step, I placed a small battery powered fan over the fuel filler neck and let it sit over night to dry out any remaining product that is in there.

In my case, I used water to test for leaks since my tank was pretty clean inside.
