Question about Revo gas tank - champion jeep - 04-10-2006

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

Wash it out with nitro fuel...

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

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.

I use soap and water too. Like Tex said, let it dry out.

I use water. Not soap though. Just let it dry out.
