Internal cleaning !

Just got back from picking up my 19l tank :-) and gave it a once over :wonker: .
Now when it was painted it looks like it wasn't seal and spray made it's way into the tank :-( shame but but never mind .
I'm looking for a good liquid chemical that will strip it anyone have an idea what to use ?

Only thing I can think of is the obvious...Nitromors. But cant see you'd want to use that. Will the paint come off with petrol ?? If not, cant you leave it there, maybe just check the filter once in a while.

Just a thought

No filter in there !! I'd rather get it cleaned out before use as I don't want it clogging up a new filter when I fit it . It's soft ish pant just rub it hard and it flakes off .
Thought about nitromors but want something runny to aide it's own removal .

Swill it with petrol, then drain it, I would be very surprised if petrol doesn't get it off and if that doesn't shift it, I wouldn't worry too much.

What about just fitting a couple of inline filters for a while, till youre confident theres nothing coming out, then switch back to the tank filter. The inlines are only a couple of quid a pop.

I'm looking at this but don't know if it's runny enough http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/291055294891? ... 26_rdc%3D1

Yep could do and as I'll be using a pump flow won't be a problem

Paint thinners a good swill then wash out with petrol

[magnum]

Just a thought try a brush cleaner diluted and leave over night will need a good swill out after and don't get it near paint you want to keep.

Won't that only work if the paint is still wet ?

Where I used to work the guys used to use gun wash thinners to clean all the old paint off their spray guns and equipment used to work a treat

Cellulose Thinners should shift it.....

Why not just kill 2 birds with 1 stone and seal the inside with petseal..it'll cover/seal in the overspray and it'll safeguard against future rust...
