why not do the water injection or the carb cleaner in a vac hose thing. That would do the same thing and people have done it befo so chances are it will not fudge it up.

yeah but why not have your tank washed, get new filters, and do the water thing. At least that is safe. why would you want your tank all shiny? lol well I would just have it proffesionaly cleaned and filters replaced if you are worried about stuff being dirty. I have no idea what that stuff you are talking about would do to our engines but I would not put money on it.
