Cleaing out a Model A gas tank

[b ramsey]

i took mine out, poured a box of 100 1/2" nuts in there and some water, after plugging the fuel guage hole. shook it like a madman and then cleaned it all out. then washed the insides with swimming pool acid and then cleaned all that out. then coated it with red-kote. not the stuff you get in calif. i got it from a farm store in illinois. no problems since and im happy.
