Hiya guys ...

 

Would like to know does anyone know where to go to treat the inside of a rusty fuel tank? I understand that it involves removing the rust as well as coating a protective layer after that.

 

Thanks

What bike's fuel tank is this?

[duracellb]

Racewerks provides restoration service but be prepared to come up with at least $200. How abt finding a 2nd hand from scrap yard?

Fastest/Cheapest/Easiest way is to pour some thick paint into it...

Huh? Won't it clot up the fuel line?

[gorgonitz82]

cheapest and fastest way is to ignore..... unless you are going to ride the bike for many years..... most bikes after 5 years is like tt one... ll

But of course take out the fuel assembly first before you pour the paint in...

Besides replacing the tank, personally i don't think there is any other effective solutions except to keep the tank full at all the time, and probably add an inline filter.

dont think its will work. petrol will melt the paint.

 

if really tried to pour paint in the fuel tank to restored it, then good luck and prepare to fork out more $$$ for the repairing cost .

ya, add a fuel filter in between the fuel line between the tank and carb

how about we put coustic soda in it?would it be strong enough to eat up the rust?i know coustic soda is very effective on carbon

Oh Yeah?

 

Try asking what the motortiams will say if u ask for the fastest, cheapest & easiest way out...

Hi vion,

 

 

the best is to get a new fuel tank, those off the shelves stuff might even make it worst, for eg bits and pieces of paint etc..

 

and once something has started rusting, there is usually not much hope left..

 

hows ur cbr150? drz on its way soon?

From my experience, motortiams don't always give the best honest advice. If you know of one, do share with the people here.

My experience a mechanic told me, Always keep the tank full when possible. Alternatively, If you really need to get a new tank. Can go to scrapyard & see2 look2. Can get cheap & quality onces there.

Use Vinegar or diet soda to remove rust from your motorcycle tank. Rusted tank will help carb to be clogged.
