    What is the best way to clean the inside of my under seat gas tank? Should the seams be resealed it does not appear to be leaking.

    russo Hope is not a method

    I pulled mine out and took it to a radiator shop to have it cleaned. It was cheap enough, and I have no fuel issues since.

    I have never done myself but I have heard of people putting a handful of nuts and bolts in the tank and shaking it, and shaking it, and shaking it some more.

    There are obvious dangers there so a radiator shop may be best. And the shop will have the proper equipment to do a better job.

    I used a length of chain to clean mine out (easier to fish out a piece of chain than numerous nuts and bolts). I used the POR-15 kit to clean, etch, then seal the tank.

    Worked VERY well and would highly recommend it. My local NAPA had the kit in stock.
