Product Information

Bad acceleration: The first thing many people notice right before cleaning their fuel tank is bad acceleration. And if that's the case, it begs the question - if fuel additives are so good, why don't car makers recommend them? And wouldn't the sticky coating left by the soda syrup on the inside of the tank have any negative effects on gas you put in it afterwards?

Cleaning a car fuel tank can be daunting, however, there are several steps you can take to ensure a successful cleaning. So long as you act confidently and carefully it is not inherently dangerous and mostly no different to any chemical tank cleaning method.If you own a V6 or V8 Chevy cylinder engine, you may have heard the term Active Fuel Management (AFM). Recommended for all petrol engines, including direct injection, carburettor and hybrid engines (CGI, FSI, GDI, SIDI, TFSI, …). They are formulated with cleaning agents and additives that can dissolve and remove deposits in the fuel system, including the fuel injectors, intake valves, and combustion chambers. I save my used solution in a 5 gallon plastic bucket and use it to de-rust chrome and other steel parts, tools, etc.

Late or missing payments may have serious consequences for you and cause you serious money problems. Always remember to prioritize safety when dealing with fuel systems, and don’t hesitate to seek professional assistance if you’re unsure about any part of the process.To increase treatment speed items should be removed from the solution occasionally; rust which appears to be still attached to the surfaces can be very easily brushed away using a stiff plastic-bristled, or wire-brush. Your fuel filter is doing a great job at cleaning the fuel before it is sent to the fuel lines and up to the engine, but there is no part of the vehicle that is designed to clean the fuel tank. The product works so that it prevents the contaminated particles from getting through the fuel into your engine. It's important to do your homework before using an additive, as there are different fuel additives for various fuels and purposes. See how much pressure a properly operating pump should be exerting versus what your pump is currently exerting.

Step 8: The very last step of the cleaning process is to leave the fuel tank in the fresh air to get fully dried. I definitely insist that at all stages you have a large bucket filled with cold, clean water, even a water hose, ready to use, beside you at all times should you accidentally splash yourself anywhere with the chemicals. After knowing all the details about why we have to clean the car fuel tank regularly, it’s time to know the process and how to complete it in an easy and safe way.

Well I have safely left tanks like this for about five days to get the full benefit but definitely two days to get good value and cleaning power. For example, leaded petrol was withdrawn from sale in 2000, with lead replacement petrol (LRP) following soon after. There are many ways that can be used to clean the inside of the petrol, the most popular ones being electrolysis using a home made set up to run an electric current through the tank, filling the tank up with gravel or wood screws and shaking it vigorously to remove the rust, and lastly immersing or filling the tank with a proprietary (or home made) chemical to dissolve the rust. Mix up a solution of muriatic acid and water, following the manufacturer’s instructions for how much to use for different sizes of tanks. So, I started looking for a user friendly and safe way to remove the rust from the inside of the petrol tank.

An alternative to doing this would be to immediately put the tank back into use and fill it with fuel or put a quantity of petrol mixed with two stroke oil in the tank and give the tank a good shake to coat the inside surface of the tank with the two stroke oil. I have found that NO abrasive components like shingle or bolts need to be added to bash off the rust flakes…hard to believe isn’t it?

After I get most of what is left in there, would it be insane to throw in some rustbuster in the tank and give it a swish for the bastards that just wont come off? This will help the system from dissolving the dirt and this is how to clean gummed-up fuel lines without removing them and reinstalling them. There was a survey made back in 2015 that showed that almost 800,000 drivers ignore their fuel lights. If you’re experiencing rough idling, you may be able to get rid of it by cleaning out your gas tank and replacing your fuel filter.
