Question about Revo gas tank - 04-10-2006, 03:16 PM

Ran into someproblems last week and sucked dirt into my motor. I replaced the motor with a RB Racing 323. I am changing fuel lines. I would like to know if its safe to wash out the gas tank with warm soap and water? I want everything perfect before I start the break in.

Thanks

Yeah, no water. Fuel, or denatured alcohol (motor spray).

I agree. No water. Use fuel or alcohol.

I used soap and water to clean the tank out before, you just let it dry with it taken apart.

There are no stupid questions. That is why this place exists. To get answers from 250 guys who are in the same hobby.

And see, Tex says you can. So just make sure that you are dry when you are done. Water and nitro engines don't get along.


got paint?
