What to clean a rusty fuel tank with???

[DomenicC1]

Does anyone out there know the name of any products that are good to use to clean and treat a rusty fuel tank with?

Cheers

Here's two options I have come across
Personally I think I would prefer using the sodium carbonate, cheap and should effective, not sure about letting it run down my drive though!
The other is a chemical clean.
Hope it helps

I think you mean sodium bicarbonate, a more soluble and better neutralizer than sodium carbonate.

No problems with letting it run down your driveway, just wash away with water, non toxic or corrosive.

I was thinking more the grunge that might come with it, left a bit of a stain when we tried it many years ago back in UK. I remember my dad not being too happy!
But yes bi carb, worked well for us
