To clean it you can use some grawel or nuts and bolts together with a strong vinegar and hot water mix, just put neverything in the tank and shake.



Loffen,

It's not that easy. The tanks have 2 baffles dividing the tank in 3 parts (center section, a left and a right section.
The corner opening on the baffles are not very large.

I've wander how a person would make sure that the tank sealer coated everywhere on the not visible baffled section.

Just thinking.



I haven't decided yet on the tank sealer vs just cleaning, the tanks don't have any kind of sealer in them from the factory so they should last another 40 years if they're not pitted to bad.

I could see the hardware and shake method on a motorcycle tank but the MH tank would be quite the dance...
