    Cleaning aluminum gas tank

    I have used purple power and hot water, after draining fuel. Rlet it soak a bit then agitate. Use a friend and swish it around. Rinse well. Dry well. I use a hair dryer in a short piece of filler hose to connect it.

    It's Time!

    Take alot of pictures and notes. Keep hardware separated in ziplocks so you know where it goes. Buy alot of beer and allot 3 times what you think it will take. Then just start removing parts.

    Best solvent to soak parts

    Vinegar is pretty good for removing corrosion, Ultrasonic cleaners are available at harbor freight and they help. Fill with vinegar and let it rip.

    Regular rustoleum is just as good and easier to source. Every big box carries it.

    Cleaning gas tank?

    Like Scott said, pull sending unit, can use trailer jack to tilt fuel towards the sender location, pump out what is in there and inspect the tank. The water separator is a good idea.

Great time to look at and inspect brakes also. Really depends on usage, I haul to Lake Erie from central Ohio often. If you live a mile...
