Gas tank whitening?

[McDog]

Legit or BS?

Legit last line. I tried everything for my tank. It got cleaner but is still brown/yellow. I read this post a few days ago but you still got me with the thread title. I'll try anything that could be the miracle fix.

Muriatic acid in microwave seems crazy, try it and report back!

As soon as I saw the title I thought I'm gonna have to go find that meme to posi it. Lol

I heard automatic transmission fluid and mermaid tears were the solution.

I heard e85 and unicorn piss

Has anyone tried sanding one down? Thinking just the outer layer was aged and soiled from use

Quality pressure washer with high psi is about the best thing I've seen. It still won't make it perfect. But it takes off alot of the discoloration on the outside.

I can't believe you have derailed my serious thread about whitening gas tanks. Sheesh! Rude!

White shoe polish always works for me.

McDog, Did you actually read what you posted?

It is a joke making fun of all the ways to ‘lighten‘ a tank.

Last line is that he replaced it with a new one.

All joking aside this is the stuff you want right here !

 

[fx1mark]

Nope, Steve's stuff is way better.

Grill me if you want to lol...but I'd like to see someone try the NES whitening method on a tank or something. I've spoken to a few fellas that cleaned their NES this way and said it worked reasonably well...

Apparently the active ingredient is Hydrogen Peroxide, which of course y'all would already have from when you tried to change your hair color from brown to blond:

I already have my fuel tank out. I might have to try this method and see what happens....

No way this thread would get serious!

I have found that the rubber straps and filler hose seem to get the staining going the worst. I slipped some tubular nylon webbing over the rubber straps and it slowed the staining considerably
