Gas Varnish Removal

Recommended Posts

My gas tank sending gauge gears are totally gummed up with varnish from 45 years of sitting. The stuff is hard as rock and I'm afraid I'll damage the brass gears trying to get it off. Is there anything that will dissolve this varnish without harming the metal parts of the unit?

Years back I restored a few gas tanks that had rock hard fuel in them. I used straight acetone to soak it out. However, I am not sure if acetone will harm brass. It was fine with steel tanks.
