Hot air gun, hair dryer anything but it must be absolutely, totally dry.

I’m sure you’re right about  it needing to be dry, but  with respect, please do be a  bit wary here.

Here are  the remains of a fuel tank after cleaning out, rinsing lots and then being dried with a hot air gun  ( last year by a veteran car owner) B29892F2-B8FB-4964-872C-FEB1F01FEFC4.thumb.jpeg.3447cb787785270fce9ae954db29930b.jpeg

(The tank is supposed to be rectangular in  shape , filler at top) 

It exploded,  ripping the tank apart with the debris flying the length of his garden.He survived but needed hospital treatment for abrasions and burns.

To make it worse, with  the interior of the tank now more,  shall we say,

“ easily visible” 

It didn’t seem that bad…
