What is the consensus on a truck that has been sitting for an extended
period (ie 8-10 years) with gasoline in the tank. The gas now smells like
varnish and I am afraid to even turn my truck over until I clean out this
tank. Should I actually consider replacing it or ...what is the best way to
clean them out?

I"ve seen the repro tanks for Task Force trucks for sale, do they have them
for AD also?
