Anyone with some good used/inexpensive gas tanks within a reasonable drive from central North Carolina?
The ones out of the 78 Royale seem fine as far as integrity, but have a very dense layer of crud. I have tried some soaking and sloshing with water and TSP, one attempt at a gallon of acetone. The area in the middle where I can physically get to it are cleaning up fine, but two baffles prevent direct access to outer third on each side. Local radiator shop guy said he would do them, when I got there he said the smell was so strong he wouldn't mess with them. One guy in another town said he would do them, still several hundred dollars each, and you never know how good they do them.
I'm thinking of building a big rotisserie type thing and putting in some nuts, bolts and chain. If I could turn the whole thing at different angles I think I would be fine...
ideas or ready to go tanks are welcome!
