    Fuel tank troubles

    I have a model ATC200ES that I use as a hunting vehicle. I recently realized that condensation as a result of being stored for several months without running has resulted in some rust in the fuel tank. Short of replacing the steel tank, any recommendations?

    Put some large rocks or bolts in there, along with some diesel fuel or gasoline, close it up and shake the hell out of it. Then just dump it out, may have to do this a couple of times.

    Thanks

    Thanks for the suggestion. The Honda place near me says they have a kit with three different chemicals that you can use to clean it, rinse it, then seal it. But they want $40 for the kit.
