The original subject was "Gas Tank Cleaning".

Had good success in removing rust from an old 8N tank by using a mixture of course sand and pea gravel (approx 6 cups) in the dry tank. The grit-filled tank was secured with blocking inside a cement mixer and slowly rotated for 30 minutes. The tank interior surfaces came out very clean. Grit mixture and rust debris washed out easily.

Great Idea!
I didn't want to take mine out of service so I dropped about 26 inches of jack-chain into it, with one end floated by a cork to bob around on the sides and ceiling. About 6 months later...(and many daily cleanings of sediment from the bowl) my tank is clean inside as a new one. Well...almost... I'm happy. :P
