I can see getting a bunch off the sides and the bottom but I don't see that working on the top of the tank.
You might want to start with TD's method then go to the acid for a more complete cleaning.
I like the old tanks compared to the new ones!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Did you get tired of having the "Dead mans hand" on the side of your bike?

Will the acid take ALL the old kreem off so the new sealer will stick??
The old sealer is super thin in the tank, thinner than paper. Hate to do all this and the old stuff keeps the new sealer from sticking.
Also heard cider vinegar might work.

I got tired of the old paint job and it does have some bondo in it. So when I came accross the new tank cheap I figured I would only have to paint the fenders.

That is what they are designed to do so I would guess the answer to your question would be yes it will take it all out.

Or I could just do nothing to the tank, just put it on and use it.

Since you are already pulling out flakes I would at least use TD's method to get as many of those out of the tanks as I could.
