    This is some serious varnish on this tank, it might need to go in the blast cabinet.

    I left the tank overnight in the solvent tank, no change. It will go in the blast cabinet in the morning, pics to follow.

    Well the blasting couldn't cut through whatever is on the gas tank. I'm wondering if it wasn't coated with a fuel tank coating?
