removing deposits while in a tank

[P2]

Anyone have any recomendations for any products or home remidies for removing internal deposits. IE: I have a tank i can use for running my outboards at home. Is there something i can add to safely disolve any deposits internaly ? Then flush with fresh water through the flush kit.

Internal deposits, such as oil residue and carbon buildup?<br /><br />Sounds like a decarb is in order.<br />PowerTune, RingFree, Seafoam Deep Creep are a few of the products that are made for 2 cycle outboard engines.<br /><br />For your reading pleasure: <br /><br /> http://forums.iboats.com/cgi-bin/ubb/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=36;t=000016

Roscoe I think he is talking about deposits in the cooling system. <br /><br />I dont know why a radiator flush additive wouldnt work.

Yes Reel Poor thats right. I didn't want to use anything too harsh though. I believe rad flush is just a weak caustic soda though? Hate to eat through my parts lol. Must be something good out there to remove cooling system deposits

You might try CLR but before dumping a couple of bottles in the tank, drop a piece of aluminum in and see what happens. I don't thing CLR will bother it. If it doesn't attack aluminum it won't attack anything else in the engine. Just flush it well with clear water afterwards.
