Removing black GM glue

[45acp]

I have removed the fuel tank for several other modifications and would like to get rid of the black tar/glue that GM put on the tank. The same stuff is under the carpet inside. How have others gone about removing this stuff? Thanks, Bill

There's gotta be a better way of doing this, but what I did to remove the glue under the carpet was I got a scraper with a new blade and sraped it off. It took a while but it worked. You might want to try a wire brush that you can attach to a drill. I thought of that one after I was done........Smart huh.

MY K-5 DOESN'T LEAK... IT JUST MARKS ITS TERRITORY.

I also used a blade scraper when I redid my interior. Be prepared to scrape a few of your knuckles.

I used a wire wheel on a grinder. Works pretty well but is time consuming. I would scrape up as much as possible and then do that. Body filler smells great when you hit it with a wire wheel!!!!!! - Doug

I don't know how much of the stuff is on there, but I had pretty good luck using carpet gum remover (Sprays on, freezes the gum/tar, and it just chips right off!) when I was yanking up the nasty water-trapping vinyl flooring on my old Toyota Pickup. I can't remember the brand name of the stuff, but it was basically a compressed gas of some kind in a spray paint type of can.
