Jr I'm old and Gray but will always do it this way from now on. I just tried it this summer after 35 years of power washers, log chains, and duck taping the tank to a tractor wheel or cement mixer with a bunch of nuts and washers in the tank. I will always try 6 gallons of white vinager in the tank and a few days of soaking. It actualy looks like it was sand blasted on the inside of the tank--pitted but perfectly clean new metal shine. Yes before you ask--the 2 tanks I cleanned were plugging the hole with the sediment bulb removed and a power washer with a dirt buster nozzle on it had failed. I paid $2.50 per gallon, and will reuse many times -- I think. ( I have a waiting list for this process) I did flush them afterward of course. Dave NE IA
