Does anyone have the best procedure for storing a Fiero gas tank that is in good condition so that it won't get rusty inside?

Thanks

Completely drain it and let it air dry is what I do then store the tank some where safe. Might be some kind of rust inhibitor or some thing you can coat the tank with, I would ask some one at a repair shop that works on fuel tanks to be sure. Dan

It depends a lot on the climate you have....and I bet yours is high humidity all the time. Ask at a local parts yard, they have to deal with this a lot. You may end up adding sta-bil and sealing the openings.

I've used an oxygen scavenger http://tinyurl.com/kh5c6lb for guns, tools, and casr-iron pots/pans. Just a packet or two and a well-sealed plastic bag - no rust. EVER! I use the same product for storing long-term food.

I imagine it would work the same on the interior of a gas tank. Clean and dry thoroughly, throw some oxygen scavenger packets into the thing and securely tape up the ports.

RUST IS OXIDATION. WITHOUT OXYGEN THERE IS NO RUST.

StaBil just came out with a new stabilizer called 360*. Its added to some fuel, not a full or empty tank, seal the openings with tape and plastic, and it creates a vapor that covers all the surfaces to prevent any rust. You can even add it to a stored car with only a few gallons of gas for extended times. It makes the argument of whether to store full or empty a non issue. In the car, it dont need sealed because its a sealed system already.

Thanks Roger that sounds like a good product
