What is the mix ratio for muratic acid to clean a gas tank?
When cleaning motorcycle gas tanks I always used it full strength and sloshed it around. Wear eye protection, gloves and don't breath the fumes! Works like a charm and a lot of people like to follow with a phosphoric acid wash as it leaves a protective coating.
Be careful and don't dump it out on concrete when your done.
Ok how do I dispose of it?
When cleaning the tank use some marbles, put them in the tank and slosh around this will help break up any loose rust particals, also if you call your local motorcycle dealership they probably have a complete kit to clean and rinse your tank, this is a common problem in our industry. All you need tho is the acid and wash not the cream kit, if your tank is bad enough to have to cream then you should replace it.

That's what Ive been looking for Joe. I am going to do that to the Kawi pretty soon.
Friend of mine cleaned a full size Chevy truck gas tank using muratic acid. He used baking soda to neutralize the acid.
You buy anything from a Harley Davidson dealership you're going pay out the nose!
