Oil tank refurbishing

Post by Max911 »

Hi everybody

My oil tank seemed needing just an externally degreasing but it's a mess of old oil and ugly coating never catalyzed...

So normal chemical hand polishing or metal brushing is ineffective... It seems to mix glue :cry:

I'm thinking about high pressure water blasting...avoiding sand and other chemicals...

Any other opinion? Whats the oil tank made of? Steel? Copper?

Thanks a lot as usual

When we did ours we bunged/sealed the openings and then Aqua blasted it, seems to have worked well and then powder coated
