Steve,
Being that I am a lazy bastard I just brought the tanks out of The Blue Streak to Redi-Strip here in Sydney and for $400.00 I got
them back with absolutely no rust in them!
I have a flexible borescope I used to check ever nook and cranny and found NADA!
Unfortunately one of the tanks has more holes in it than Swiss cheese so I am not sure how to proceed.
I am preparing to head for the USA over the weekend (I fly out Monday AM) and don't have time to go down to my workshop and take
photos.
Regards,
Rob M.

I tried the "scrub it out" method using hardware (washers and 1/4-20 nuts). It did a fairly good job. Problem is getting the
"stuff" (rocks or hardware) out after it's done it's job. I have one spare I'm still trying to get the hardware out of. I work on
getting the hardware out when I feel I can tolerate the frustration for a while.
GMCMH tanks are different in that they are so wide, so shallow and have internal baffles.
