I have a 1991 Protege LX and the pictures below show its very ugly fuel tank. It is quite rusted and still has a small amount of fuel in it that I am having a very hard time getting out.
First question, what is the best way to get that last little bit of fuel out? I have turned it upside down and gotten some out. The little plug on the bottom yielded a small amount.
Next question, what is the best way to remove the rust? I have read that vinegar works pretty well but takes some time. Does anyone here have any tricks up your sleeves for removing the rust from the inside of a fuel tank? It's mostly pretty loose and seems to be mixed with some kind of residue.
