I'm working on a set of fuel tanks for my -10. The ribs and some other parts seem to have a bunch of grime from either the hydroforming process or maybe laser cutting. Plus oils, boelube, scotch brite dust, etc.
Wondering if anyone has tried putting the ribs and stiffeners in the dishwasher to deep clean them for tank sealant and assembly?
I would imagine that you wouldn't want to use regular dishwasher pods due to possible contamination by non-spotting agents etc.
Good idea? And if so any recommendation on what would be a good detergent or chemistry to use on aluminum? I understand that different chemistries (alkaline to acidic) are used to clean different contaminants and materials for the best results.
