<VV> ebaying a gas tank

[Frank Ness]

Chris,
Have you tried flushing it out with hot water? I have access to a steam cleaner and after a good steaming, no order. You will want to use your favorite method of getting the last bits of H2O out to prevent rust. Depending on what you think it will go for, ask a radiator shop what they would charge to flush it. With heightened security now, I would not send a "ripe" fuel tank.
Regards,Frank

need some common sense advice on if its even possible to sell and send a used gas tank for a corvair.
I drained it and aired it for a couple of weeks outside the best I could, still is a little ripe though.
Was thinking I could stuff a rag on the holes, place it in a garbage bag and box it up. then I was thinking bad idea, vapor = boom?
Then I thought I was nuts. Then I thought a christmas tree air freshener (like the ones dangling from someones rear view mirror) inside would help. LOL
Then I thought maybe a local pickup is more appropriate.
Any advice or experiences from you all experts would be nice to read and then re-contemplate my position, the gas tank, that is, not my mental state.....
