If you live in an area with any humidity at all you'll now have flash rust in the tank unless it was nearly immediately filled with fuel or sprayed down with an oil of some sort. The HCI is likely to have removed any plating that remained inside as well. If Mr. T does not come thru soon with a tank I strongly advise you to invest in lining the inside of the tank with a product like POR-15's "U.S. Standard Fuel Tank Sealer" or "Kreem" or similar, or you be back to fighting the same problem.

Fortunatly this weekend was some of the lowest humidity levels we have had in weeks. I had the tank in the sun and it dried within hours and got 10 gal of fuel poured in. Local toyota called today, and they are going to do the tank replacement. I am siked. I am glad I cleaned what I had, always enjoy learning something new so it wasnt a total loss, and now I can drive it until the new tank arrives
