    To clean out the inside of the tank ... washed pea gravel swirled around inside the tank will take off most of the rough stuff. Pea gravel ... because if one stone isn't tipped out it will rattle and you can hear it. Flush with a bit of petrol after each "swirl" ...

    Depending how bad the tank is ... three or four times may be needed ...
    When life throws you a curve ... Lean into it ...

    A few of the guys on the XJ forum use electrolysis to clean the inside of the tank

    "If you can make black marks on a straight from the time you turn out of a corner until the braking point of the next turn, then you have enough power."

    nice vid Kickaha, cheers.

    Now, anyone out there know what Zinc becomes as it breaks down? Is it a steel/rust form, or does it completely break down?
    Wondering if anyone ever figured a way to use some kind of sacrificial anode in a tank - one that doesnt require power (obviously!), and one that breaks down to something 'safe' for motors.
