Default Underseal revomal

Just started to clean the bottom half of my fuel tank and under the dirt the tank is plastered in underseal.

Whats the best way to clean it off ?

Scraper and thinners, but be careful of the fumes. My tank has underseal on lower half from factory as well.

Petrol and thinners either will do the job Steve with a bit of elbow grease.

Thanks.Lee.

I steam cleaned the complete underside to remove what was on there then petrol out the tank to get the last of what was on the tank.
