don't really have an answer sorry, i bought some Blue Lightning tank sealer and it specified in the instructions a number of different solvents to clean the tank before use.

I emailed and asked them which one was safest but got zip in reply. So I was planning on using a grease and wax remover like you'd use before spray painting, after testing it on an old bit of plastic first. A couple of the guys here gave me some info though
