so now i don't know what to do, i need to de-rust again but have done it previously and the rust came back almost immediately. I cant ride my bike as is as carbs keep blocking up. Will try the flowliner rust remover at weekend and see what happens.
If you are using acid of any type to clean, make a final rinse with bicarbonate of soda to neutralise the interior, then oil/diesel of some type to protect. Don't mix the two in any quantity, just a mild wash out after the cleaner solution has been emptied completely.
the stuff i used before was an acid based rust remover which did say on the bottle that it prevented rust re-forming but it did not! This flowliner product comes in crystal form and claims to be bio degradable and doesn't mention any acid content. The tank is sound and does not leak at the moment so will try this new product and swill with diesel as Graham suggests then report back.
I followed this method a few years ago and no issues afterwards. Relatively cheap and available products. Bit of a faff on, but as I say, no issues since doing it.
