TSP to clean a gas tank?
Is there any reason that TSP could not be used to clean a fuel tank with light scale? I already have the tsp and this is not my best tank? This tank is for driving my chassis around only using spare firewall and gas tank.

Use molassas and water, it will clean ALL the rust and crud out of any steel part.

As recommended to me by DICK M, I recently used undiluted white vinegar with amazing results. About $3.00 for a 1.33 gallon jug at COSTCO. Took a little over 8 jugs. Let it sit for a few days and then drain and rinse with water until the water runs clear. As you rinse, make sure to "slosh" the water in the tank to loosen the scale.

Thanks all. I have it in the back of the truck driving for a couple of days with vinegar in it. Doesn't leak. It will make a nice spare setup for driving completed chassis around in.
