<HTML>Dave,
use the acid they sell at pool stores to clean your tank. REMOVE THE FUEL TAP FIRST!!!. PLUG HOLE WHERE FUEL TAP WAS. CAREFULLY ADD ACID TO TANK AND SWISH AROUND. GIVE ACID TIME TO WORK. RINSE OUT WITH WATER. BLOW TANK DRY WITH HAIR DRYER OR COMPRESSOR. TREAT TANK WITH KREEM.
I am in west chester pa and would be very happy to help

<HTML>Thanks scott I will take you up on that. I am using the Puch at the beach over Memorial day. After that I will be ready to prep. the tank. How should I reach you? Is that westgate.westtown.edu your e-mail address?</HTML>

<HTML>You could do what i did and take an old plastic lawn tractor gas tank and mount it on the pack rack.</HTML>
<HTML>The '78 Puch newport is in mint condition. There is no threat of rust through. Just checking how to clean it up a bit. No need to "jerry-rig" anything on. Thank you for the suggestion. When the tank rusts through 30 years from now - maybe I'll think about it.</HTML>
<HTML>Dave I am selling my 78 puch with speed kit and some nice extra parts for only 250 if interested.
