After spending 2 weeks trying different solvents to clear my tank out of fuel residue. I have found and solvent that is especially designed to work on fuel tanks. :hail: The solvent is just ripping through the residue. It is an organic biodegradable mixture which you pour into the tank and wait 20 mins in each position and then pour it back into the container (reusable).
On the recommendation of the importer you wash the tank out with water and there are still bits of residue coming out you apply the solution once more but diluted 1:1 with water and run through the procedure once more until there are no bits coming out of the tank when you flush it.
I bought a tank repair kit which comes with one liter of Marine clean and one liter of metal ready (which kills any rust and etches the tank) and a tin of special paint to seal the tank (I dont have any leeks) but it was recommended by the importer ( who rebuilds classic cars) as this will save me having any problems with rust in future.
At the moment it looks like the bees knees but I will keep you posted on the results.
