This winter I plan on removing my stainless steel fuel tank, so this is a
good time to clean the inside.
I figured I'd take it somewhere that does this sort of thing...steam it out,
I thought. The place recommended by my local fuel distributor said he would
just use a pressure washer, cold at that, and that I could do that as well
as he.
Now, maybe he is thinking of a 10,000 gal tank which is somewhat larger than
what I'm dealing with. Same principles would apply, but he'd have better
access than I will thru the little clean-out hole.
Anybody have experience with this ? Any suggestions

My main tank holds 600 gallons of diesel and I use a Gulf Coast F-1
filter combined with a Walbro pump connected to a 12 volt timer. My
fuel is completely polished every few weeks. For the past 2 years, I
have used Startron's enzyme based fuel treatment. Prior to using
Startron, I would change out my F-1 filter (roll of Bounty) and it
would be appear deep maroon and almost brown in some spots. After
using Startron, the filter is now the pinkish red of diesel. The only
other "additive" I use is the Stanadyne fuel treatment as recommended
by injection pump specialists. Don't use algacides since the result
will be sludge accumulation.
