If the tank is in good shape inside,I used acetone and some crushed stone to swish it around with the sending unit removed. Acetone does evaporate so act in a timely manner. Rinse with water,use compressed air to dry or let air dry. Other people may recommend a different method,but this worked for me and had no issues. Hope this helps

I used a POR 15 kit in my 65s tank That was like 25 years ago.It was plain nasty and bad.Used it as per directuins and sealed it.Changed senders like 8 years ago and still looked new inside.Well worth the money.I did let it sit in the sun and dry before I used sealer.Then let it sit in the sun a day or so so it cured.Rocky

[quote=gzig5]. I did one 30+ years ago by dumping in about 3 pounds of 1/4-3/8 nuts and bolts and swishing them around with acetone or something like it.
I used a decent size chain on my 48 DeSoto fuel tank. So far (about 20 years), no problems.
