At the Centenary event this year i purchased a cheep chummy type scuttle tank [£20] it has had a few chewing gum patches which didnt bother me nor did the stripped brass boss for the fuel tap, as these are all simple solder repairs to sweat off and replace.
The internal of the tank has been "Sloshed" and is of a white/cream finish, this is flaking off now - does anyone have any idea on the best way to remove this?
My inital thought was Sweat off the back of the tank and scrape it out however someone suggested that if it was filled with celulose thinners that would dissolve the coating - has anyone any experience of this?
At the end of the day, the tank cost me next to nothing, i can save some of the fixings to reuse on another tank as required if i cannot remove the "Slosh"
