Cleaning a "lacquered" gas tank [Aluminum Boat and Repair Board ] [F A Q ] Posted byKelly Duffie (64.12.96.7) on April 07, 2002 at 20:39:14: Have a 20gal rectangular aluminum tank that held gasoline way too long. The gas gummed & lacquered the interior of the tank. Drained as much as I could, but gummy lacquer still clings to the inside. Any suggestions for removing this stuff, so the tank can go into service on another boat?
