I want to clean my gas tank for my yellow notch before i set up the fuel system, is there a place that sells a kit or anything to put in the tank to clean out the rust or anything else that may be in it? Thanks in advance.

I've heard of people having good luck with (white) vinegar.. empty the tank, fill it w/ vinegar, let it sit a day or so and then drain it. You might want to do that a couple times, vinegar supposedly is a great rust dissolver. My vote goes to a fuel cell though.
