Jeff, I removed old tank sloshing material by sloshing with with acetone (highly flammable). Some people use MEK. If you are going to try and reseal them with sloshing sealer, don't use the old "yellow/brown" one from Randolph that was available for a century, it is not alcohol resistant. Mine continuously dissolves and tints the gasoline, especially auto gas. Use the new alcohol resistant "white" sealer from Randolph if they still sell it. All these companies that make products are afraid of liability. Someone said J. C. Whitney has a sloshing sealer in their catalog for automotive applications.
The best repair, and the one I have long planned to do, is to have an A & P who can, remove all the rivets and clean the tanks including the old sealer. I don't know the name of the thick black sealer that aircraft mechanics use to close and seal the tanks, (but someone here on the fourm will). It is black and used in seams before closing and re-riveting. I understand if you get in on you, it won't come off for weeks. But the best repair is to have them opened up, and reriveted with the aforementioned sealer.
