Fuel Tank, How to wash it?

[Isdoyra]

Been searching about this, but options of getting cleaning products down here are... none.
Any way of doing it myself, I know there's a drain plug and, what else can I do?

Thanks for ur time!!!!

Gas is a solvent, so i doubt its dirty.

Could always wash it out with more gas

are you cleaning it because there is gunk in there or just cause?

this would help with the answer. later.

I would put good money that its pretty clean in there. does anyone know if our fuel pumps have a sock on them?

I'm cleaning it because I already check an amount os things and my car keeps lossing power, recently I changed the fuel filter and gas in there came out really dirty, was like watching coke with some water, was really messed up.

Well thats what happens when the fuel filter is old. Have you tried a full tune up yet. Plugs, wires, cap, rotor, air filter, oil change, etc.

that could be because the gas was coming out of the inlet side where it had connected. it might be a better chance of your fuel pump going out.

Yup, did it a month ago.

But problems start after a emergency refilled in an non-prestigious gas station where people say gas comes with water and dirt.
So I guess that gas left some dirt in the tank and besides that i gotta change my fuel filert again.

Only thing I haven't done yet is injector cleaning, for the rest I even change all hoses and clean IM.

mmm , haven't check that out, but in low RPMs the car sits smoth and doesn't choke, it only happens when I hit the accelerator between 2000 and 3300 rpms

[Isdoyra]

I'm gonna open the drain bolt and check how dirty gas comes out.

Thanks for the help!

^^^ I would start on that too

youd be surprised... its probably extremely clean in there. and youll find that the little bit of "dirt" will probaly be just a few flakes of whatever floating around in there... but they get stopped before the filter anyway.

do be carefull, have something to catch that in or another solvent to dissolve the gas...remember it's not the liquid gas that burns it's the fumes...and those fumes can TRAVEL!!! VERY long distances.

Your options also depend on if you take the tank off. You could swish some gas around, small amount, then dump that out. But sounds like it's staying on the car. Guess you could drain this stuff out, put a little in...rock the car by hand, drain...until it is cleaner. IF it comes out filthy this first time.

Put a new gas filter on, fill 1/2 or 1/4 of the way, drive around crazy, change filter...drive again...change filter good to go. And new pump after all that too.

But I agree with mike...maybe change the filter more frequently.
