New VW Fuel Tanks Must Cleaned Before Use
All VW Gas Tanks are manufactured and shipped with a rust inhibitor sprayed on the inside of the tank. This sprayed-on liner must be removed prior to gas tank installation.
Volkswagen Gas Tank Cleaning Instruction
1. Use a rag and duct tape to cap off gas tank openings.2. Use a cleaner such as MEK, Acetone, or any carburetor cleaner to clean out the liner.
3. Add a handful of nuts/bolts/washers to swish around with the cleaner. This will break up the liner inside the gas tank.
4. Repeat this 2-3 times until fluid drains clear from the gas tank.
