Removing interior build up on Gas tank?
I recently purchased a bike, very good condition, but its been sitting for close to 2 years. Theres build up on the inside of the gas tank because the fuel wasnt removed, and I wanted to know what I can use to remove that build up (after i remove the gas tank & lines etc. of course) I looked at Cycle city but didnt see any solvents designed specifically for the purpose. Any help is appreciated.

i usually just fill the tank with a 50/50 mixture of muratic acid (sidewalk cleaner) and water, let it sit for a while (sometimes even a day), dump that out, flush with water, then let it air out (or stick an air line in the tank if you're impatient) and take it to a radiator shop, they can seal it with that purple stuff they use, and you'll never have a problem again, usually.
