Back in the day when I did backyard motorcycle repair, the guy I worked
for taught me to use muriatic acid and some small rocks in the tank.
We'd fill the tank up, shake it around with the rocks to agitate, and
dump. Do it a few times for varnished tanks, then seal with tank sealer
so the tanks would not rust up. YMMV - I have found a few tanks that
this process would "find" leaks in.
