Pfew, that's a pretty drastic method. And especialy with moped gastanks
this can go wrong. I've seen tanks with acidburn holes in em. It will
work, not questioning that. But with the method I described earlier on
it works just as well and you don't need acid gloves eyeprotection and
respirator. And ofcourse the acid method is more harmfull for the
environment.
I would advice only to use acid when the first method didn't work and
you're sure the tankmetal is still thick enough everywhere.
