I used electrolysis on my spitfire fuel tank, worked a charm! For the old gummy residue i used white spirit and then acetone. Then blasted it inside and out with the pressure washer before spraying in wd40 then again white spirit. I then poured this out, let it air dry and topped up with petrol. No rust spots with this method. You could skip the pressure washer bit but it worked for me.
Hi louis,
I guess i got some rust spots because i didn t top it up with petrol straigh after cleaning.
Sorry my previous message was a bit confusing but what i meant is i'm looking for a way to cleaning the inside of the fuel steel pipes that go from the tank to the pump. I guess dipping them in white spirit could work?
The cleaner is fine, I used it, but if a second person helped slosh the tank around it would have been a better job.
The sealer if you follow the instructions is fine but make sure the oulet pipe does not get covered, see my thread for the worst Christmas break nightmare.
Also when you pour out the stuff into the tin at the end, you may be able to use it to fill any small potholes you have, it dries rock hard.

I've used the POR-15 stuff a couple of times on my Model T Fords.
The first treatment was done about 12 years ago and I have had no problems with the sealant letting go.
A lot of the Veteran & Vintage car guys in my club have used it many times and I've heard no complaints. Its a favourite in the vintage motor cycle crowd too.
Its an excellent product and I'm happy to recommend it to you....and hope you can afford to pay for it......'cause it aint cheap.
Cheers,
Rob
