[DeTomaso] Rust in Tank

[Roland J]

Fill the tank with water and 20% citric acid. Heat it with an imersion heater thru the hole for the tank sender for about eight hours. All rust and debris will be gone. After flush it well with water, let it dry and you are done.

   Fill the tank with water and 20% citric acid. Heat it with an imersion
   heater thru the hole for the tank sender for about eight hours. All
   rust and debris will be gone. After flush it well with water, let it
   dry and you are done.
