I just bought a '48 cub that has been sitting at least 10 years or more.I removed the tank and hood,and laid it upside down to drain over a bucket.The next day there was a large glob of tar in the bucket and strands of it to the opening of the tank.I've never seen one this bad.Any suggestions on how to clean this tank? Thanks

I've used half enamel reducer & half naphtha [gallon of each] with good results. Work outdoors & let it work for 2 or 3 days.

One of the best thing to clean a gas tank with is gas, since what caused it was old gas new gas brakes it down pretty well
