Old gasoline

5 months my ass!

Gas tank has some minimal rust in the bottom. Anybody know of a good cleaner? I don't think it needs a liner just a good cleaning.

138 psi of compression

it's very old gasoline that I drained from the ZX tank

Kinda looks like apple pie moonshine.

HOLY sh**!!!!!!  :o  :o :o :o :o :o

That is F'N NASTY!!!!
If that was in the tank, i can just imagine how corroded the carb is.  :-X :'(    (i see some "Sea-Foam" coming into your life.  ;))
(THAT carb may need some "chem-dip". ;D)
I would just clean the tank real well, 2-3x FOR SURE.. I have found that pouring a touch of gas in the tank and left to sit, the gas will break some of the rust/debris out, then wash again. I don't have that spotless tank ppl want but it works just fine.

It seems the link you found may be some dam good stuff. Sounds great anyway. ;) Maybe Z will chime back in on that since he is a boat/marina man. (i had never even heard of it till now.... I always had to use "Naval Jelly" to remove rust. ::))

www.ospho.com/directions.htm   This product is cheap, and sold at most paint suppliers as well as home centers. I start with Muriatic acid (brick wash) It is about 4 bucks. STRIP the tank of all its components, and pour the acid in. Just about a cup. (WARNING) This stuff will put you in the hospital if breathed. Rubber gloves are a MUST. Swish it around for 45-60 seconds, and repeat the process 2-3 times. Rinse with a garden hose for a minute or two, and blow the tank dry with compressed air. That is when you repeat the process with Ospho.
OR you can buy a new tank. I saw one on ebay about 2 weeks ago for 45 bucks.
sometimes the rust has eaten all the metal in the bottom leaving a layer of rust covered metal that the acid will eat thru. That will show you need a new one. If you simply add the rust converter you will never know till it ruptures, and leaks on a hot engine.
Sooooo New tank or acid wash first.    (2 cents)

Meant to say rust covered paint. You will get a hole if this is the case

Another ps...
This IS caused by Ethanol attracting water. The water even though emulsified (think thats the word) still is heavier than gas and does its dirty work on the bottom. 5 months is believable because the shelf life of oxygenated fuel is 3 months in the BEST of conditions.

Suck on that "Flat Earth'ers"
