Has anyone experience cleaning gas tanks with muriatic acid and carb cleaners? I have gone through over 3-gal of muriatic acid and a small bottle of carb cleaner and after every drain and rinse I still get black chunks, yellow fluid, and rusty floaters. How long should the acid sit inside? I have swished, swirled, and tumbled my M's tank for 4 hrs this past weekend and still doesn't look like enough time. When can I finally say that the tank is clean enough to proceed with coating it with a rust preventative sealer? Has anyone used carb cleaner in the same manner? Thank you all for your advice.
