How Do I Clean An RV Fresh Water Tank?

My tank is plastic, and has the beginnings of a mouldy flavor, although viewing it through the sides reveals no visible growth. It cannot be removed. I would like to try filling it with salt water and letting it sit for several hours before draining, and also adding a little bleach or ammonia to the salt water (I know those two cannot be added together), or any combination thereof.
Any ideas?

THANKS!

Where can I buy acid neutralizer for a Culligan unit?

I have a culligan acid neutralizer and it is time to add some of the product to the tank. I don’t want to spend the 100 just for a service charge to have them come out and add the stuff.

Where can I buy the acid neutralizer powder as well as the particulate filters they use?

Please help, anyone who knows about RV/auto parts! I need to move one today.?

I need to drive an RV about 11 miles to its new storage unit today. It is a 34-foot Pace Arrow made in 1984. The gas gauge does not work, but before I put 10+ gallons in the tank I crawled under and banged on the tank and it sounded empty… = )
The only problem it had as far as I know was the entire fuel line had to be replaced. Before that, it would not start at all. Now it starts but I think there might be something wrong with the fuel pump(?) because it will start (with some effort) and run for about 10-15 minutes, then stop abruptly, and you’ll hear a fast clicking sound about where the fuel pump is for a minute.
As you can see I only know a little bit about RV parts, and I really need advice because I can’t afford to have it towed! If there is still something wrong, will I still be able to get it to the storage on 10 gallons of gas?
Someone told me if it has less than 5 gallons it will sputter out then, because it can’t reach all the way to the bottom of the tank…is that true? I am very tight on cash so please tell me if you think I need to put more gas in there. If so, I won’t be able to move it today and that will cause problems. = (
Thank you in advance for any advice!
Yeah, I thought the last five gallons thing sounded strange. The guy was probably just offering some very conservative advice.
The filter was just replaced…hmmm. But now that I think about it, it is considerably less than a minute that it clicks. Maybe 40 seconds.
It is fuel-injected. I wonder what the issue is, then.

Culligan the Betta Fish Builds His First Bubble Nest

Today is exactly one week since Culligan was put into his 5 gallon tank. I’ve had him for almost two week total time. Click link to left to watch in HIGH QUALITY I never though I’d see him build a bubble nest because I have read that many people’s bettas build their nest after only a couple days in their new home. And his tank has a filter that creates a gentle current at the surface so I thought the bubbles wouldn’t stick. Well, Culligan was smart and built it in a corner behind the intake pump that is undisturbed by any current. :) The only thing I can think of that I did differently was that yesterday I fed him half a peeled, boiled pea. Sorry the video is kinda bad quality. I just woke up and have final exams like in 2 hours so I shot and uploaded this video very quickly, haha.
