Before I called the company I searched around and it seemed like $700-$900 was the cost range stated by others and what I was sort of prepared for. When I spoke to the guy over the phone he estimated it at about $800 but that could be higher depending on what was found. I had about 300 gallons total in the two tanks which was polished. Had they been full it would have taken more time and I'm sure the cost would have been somewhat higher.

I really appreciated that he explained and showed me everything. Inspection port gaskets (old ones were bad and he made new ones out of neoprene), inside the tanks after he opened them and after cleaning, the filters showing what came out of the fuel, even the inside of the tanks he was using to temporarily store the fuel while he was cleaning the fuel tanks. Oh, and when he made the gaskets he made a donut not just a big round circle of neoprene. He explained why but can't remember really. Anyway, he gave me the circles of neoprene he cut out in case I needed then for something else. Not a big deal but nice of him.

All told, not sure what I could ask more of him.
