    In "rest of tech" I wrote about my fuel tank cleaning results, with the title "fuel tank cleaning".  Had different chemicals to remove rust vs. gunk.

    I had gunk in my old tanks.  After power washing at the car wash didn't get everything, I put in some kerosene and a couple of handfulls of old nuts and bolts and started doing the back and forth shake.
