Have built in 12 gallon aluminum tank. full of Amoco supreme/stabil but set up for approx. 2 years. Suprisingly though, the gas doesn't have that smell. Seems ok but i am not about to trust it.<br />Have drained the tank best i could tru fuel line and i know must be residue in bottom. Need to pull the tank for sure, but doesn't have access other than fill tube and sending unit for guage. Should i attempt to clean it or just buy a new plastic one?

Re: Best Alum. Tank cleaning method

Well, thanks to anyone who may still wander by to offer advice. But I already pulled the tank and it is still pretty darn clean inside. Rinsed with mineral spirits to clean out a few small bits of varnish but overall in very good shape. Left open to evaporate/dry. Will reinstall tomorrow after picking up some new fill hose.
