After cutting the doors the tanks were cleaned out using engine cleaner and degreasers. Along with typical car wash.

Here is the other tank after cleaning. Both tanks looked like new metal on the inside.

We built a couple big fires in the tank to clean out any reside from the previous use. After the fires, the tanks had no oily smell.
