I actually just did this last weekend. I bought some tank sealer, and they gave instructions on how to clean the inside of the tank. Put some lacquer thinner in the tank, with a handful of screws, close up the tank and shake it for a while. Mine took about ten minutes, and they came out pretty nice.

A length of chain works pretty well too.

I have restored many tanks by both the acid dip method and electrolysis method.

Then used POR 15 gas tank restore kit.

what size tank?
