Cleaning gas tank
We all have read what ethanol gas does to the inside of the tank cleaning and send it downstream
Now my question could I not buy a few gallons of e85 and pour it into a empty tank and let it work its magic and clean the tank?

I'm very interested in responses to this as well. Currently have my tanks out of the boat (1978 23' Sceptre I/O) replacing all hoses, etc. and was thinking of putting approx. 5-10 gallons of acetone in each, and slowly rotating the tanks to let it work on each panel.

About to pull the tank on my 23. Assuming it's in good condition I'm interested this as well. Idea sounds good to me!

The last tank I cleaned I ended up cutting access holes into the top of it to get the varnish out. What I found that worked well was seafoam, I wet a rag and coated the inside walls. Once it sat and soaked in after a few minutes it loosened up the varnish where it wiped right off. You may be able to fill the tank with a bottle or two and soak it then shake to get most of it out but I have found that the only way to fully clean one is to get you hand in it to wipe all areas.
