With the tank out of the car, its time to clean it.

First I let it air out for a few weeks.

Then I washed it out in the shop sink.

Then I made my own pressure washer.  A washing machine hose, plugged one 
end, put 4 small holes at that end.

Put it in the tank, and turned it on full blast.  About 2 pounds of rust 
came out.  Was able to guide the hose to get all the corners.  Washed 
from both sides, and now to let it dry.

Once its dry I will inspect with a mirror and see if a re-wash is needed.

After that either off to the radiator shop for sealing, or the stuff 
clarks sells.
