Default Re: Gas tank varnish

After trying PB Blaster, Acetone, Lacquer Thinner, Paint Thinner, gasoline, kerosene, WD 40, Kroil, Liquid Wrench, etc., etc., to clean old gasoline varnish ....... I found that hot tap water mixed with POR 15 Marine Clean, (4 parts water to one part MC) will clean more thoroughly and quicker than all of the above.

Used MC in my Model A gas tank which sat in car collectors storage for 30 years.

One gallon costs about $25.00, mixed with 4 parts hot water = 5 gallons; for $25.00 it is "clean" ........... but wait ....... drain MC from gas tank, strain it through a cotton T-Shirt, and MC can be used again and again to quickly and thoroughly clean petroleum based products from any and all Model A parts ...... even make the interior coils of an old radiator shine once again.

Possible Forum Member Rejections for Trying POR Products:

Cost too much ..... most here appear to be searching desperately and waiting to read an article on how to entirely, mechanically rebuild a Model A engine, transmission, and differential by adding a $1.50 box Oatmeal in the radiator ...... Why wait?
