Drain completely, flush with water, drain again, fill with a gallon of muratic acid and let it set for a few hours. Drain again and flush with water. Drain one last time. The acid is very caustic so be careful. Have baking soda near by. Any residual water can be absorbed by "Heet" or gas dri. Refill with fuel and pump out the lines into a pan.

Use a hand pump to remove as much dirty fuel as possible and refill with clean fuel and half a litre of methylated spirits. (petrol only) If it's a diesel you wlill have to take the tank out and steam clean. Jules, automotive lecturer. Australia.

If the tank is rusted, you may want to consider getting a different fuel cell and relocating it. Just leave the old one in place and find a new place for another. Rust won't come out without boiling the tank. Tranny fluid helps but it takes forever.
