<div dir="ltr">Hello Paul: There used to be a kit that used muriatic acid and as you said chain and broken glass bottles and was rotted constantly for a number of hours then a cleanser/acid neutralizer and rinse etc and finally some kind of pint/coating to inside plus paint to outside. Guys used small portable cement mixers to do the rotating. Many times the rust-weaken tank bottoms either broke out OR pinholes developed and the coating wasn't completely fuel resistant. </div><div dir="ltr"><br clear="none"></div><div dir="ltr">Then radiator shops started soaking in their cleaning tanks but EPA didn't like the fuel in the acid when recycle of acid happened and most quit. I know of one radiator shop that told me they would still 'tank' the tank and that is/was Lakewood Radiator on about 52nd and Sheridan in Arvada. He told me $400 for Corvair tank. You can buy new from Clarks a tank that with some 'adjusting' of the corners to match the old one will then fit into the car for $200 plus. </div><div dir="ltr"><br clear="none"></div><div dir="ltr">Just my thoughts and others may chime in too.
