    rust removal from tank

    I have a great shape 350x stock tank, but it is rusted pretty good inside-my question is have any of you guys ever used a radiator shop to boil and pressure clean it by chance?I have used my local rad shop for some old steel fuel cells of my Honda Pilots and Odysseys with great results, but never a ATC tank, ever hear of this?

    Never have done that but I'd rather use the POR-15 tank kit and never have to worry about rust again.

    I was talking to a guy at the parts store and that is exactly what he recomended.

    I also keep hearing about the por-15 kit for around $50, I hear it removes rust and coats the tank so it wont rust again.

    POR-15 TANK KIT? Got a link to it by chance?I have used that in truck body applications, but never a tank, doesnt the petroluem attack the chemicals in the POR-15 over time,this tank is good and rusted inside.
