If you really want to get it clean that POR15 stuff is excelent. mine looked like it had been galvanised after. On 28th Aug, 2011 Kean said:

In my case, water (high pressure washer) followed by some water soluble degreaser, as the water soluble degreasers leave a very thin oily film (which stops rust for a while) once they have evaporated. Once the degreaser evaporated, installed and filled ASAP. Schrödinger's cat - so which one am I ??? |

I just use water and then a bit of meths or thinners to rinse out the water thats left.If you are worried about leaving any water in there, just blow warm air through with a hairdryer or hot air paintstripper. |

I had to weld a damaged tank recently, replacement wasn't an option as you can't buy new ones for this car.
