Hi, can I use an old and emptied plastic fuel tank to replace the corroded metal one on my car? The plastic one was from a diesel and my car is petrol.

Hello, I am Danny.

Yes, you can use the plastic tank. Just be sure to clean all the diesel fuel out before running the gas through it. Hope this helps and thanks for using 2CarPros.

Hi Danny, excellent thank you for your help. Would a simple fairy liquid and hot water wash be enough?
