One of the hurdles in getting my bus on the road is my gas tank.  Since it 
hasn't been used in 10+ years I need to clean it out before using it so I can 
avoid changing my fuel filter every 100 miles for the next three years.  I have 
heard of people having their gas tanks "boiled out" but have no idea what is 
involved in that process.  I stopped by the local custom shop and they said 
they just flush them out with a garden hose.  Seems to me there should be more 
to it than that.  Can anyone offer any insight?
