Default Re: anodizing a container with small opening

Well I'm trying to upload a pic and it won't let me. But in a few words, I don't know how anyone would anodize the inside of these gas tanks. Is it really like plating where you need a cathode on the inside? blind holes anodize fine with out sticking something in them when there facing up in our tank. To describe the tank in a few words... it's about 8-10"L x 8-10"W x 6-8"H with a triaglular cross section along the LxH. This tank has about 4 holes that are about 3/4" - 1" diameter and there is a baffle about 1" from the end of each hole on the inside. impossible to get anything in there of any substantial size. The owner claims that others can anodize the insides.... so what's the trick or has the owner been fed misinformation. The reason for the ano on the inside is claimed that the alcohol race fuel eats aluminum. Anyone have any experience with that?
