Best way to clean out a gas tank?

[Monziac]

Have my tank out, in good shape, gum inside and some light rust. What is the best solution to clean it with? Thanks, Jon

Acetone, toluene?  Dr. Gowdy's Environmental Toxin and Shine Cut Water?  I think a lot of people get them boiled out don't they?  Seems like the varnish would be easy enough but the rust could be a hassle.

Get a new tank; why mess with an older one and "hope" it comes put right when you can buy a new unit and start out fresh...

I took mine to a radiator shop and had it boiled out. No problems.

Acetone works well.

Once it's clean, seal it.
