I have decided against remanufacturing my petrol tanks as they are very solid indeed but pretty nasty inside. I have just cut the ends out of one and was planning on sandblasting it and rewelding the ends up. The other tank is much better and I wonder whether anyone can advise on how to clean the inside out so its fit for petrol? I guess when I sandblast the bad one, I cannot paint it so it will have to be left au naturel. Any ideas how to stop it rusting up again? Photos to follow.

My method of cleaning petrol tanks is to put some sharp sand into it and lash it onto the front of a cement mixer and run it for a couple of hours adding more sand if neccesery. Then use Porseal to line the tank, John.
