Aircraft Stripper/Remover, whatever they call it. It has a picture of a aircraft on it, lol.

Really toxic stuff though (for breathing, skin, etc.) Make sure you take the proper precautions before using it.

Is your tank plastic though? I'm not sure if you can use that stuff on plastic. (CHECK FIRST!)

Hope that helps.

I know them same strippers! They are better at polishing your tool. So I say no to strip and yes to polish!
Hahahaha.

I use a product called Strip-ease. You can get it at most local hardware stores. What's best about it, is that it comes in like a 24-30 oz container. Semi-liquid paste consistency. Although the noxious fumes will give ya slight buzz like the others, you can actually dilute this with water when doing your clean up and it won't leave that rust/remover residue like the others do. But then again, there is more prep work that gets done after removal anyway, so it don't really matter.

Make sure you wear like household cleaning rubber gloves. It absolutely burns like a bitch if you get it on any cut or if your hands are sweaty. Has a very easy clean up too. Cheap, like 7.00 bucks a bottle, and you only need 1 good layers. Use a hairdryer to heat it up and it will soften the paint a little before you put it on. Helps to reduce the excess need of more stripper and what not.
