There are now Ethanol proof liners, I'm sure that every lined tank Menno turns out is not a disaster. But I agree to a point, if you don't need it don't do it. With mine I used the same cleaner that comes with the liner kits to clean the insides of my tank. It came up spotless so I didn't line it. Bit of a problem if your tank leaks though, in this case a new tank would be my choice as they are available and the 400F paintwork is quite simple and cheap.

I'm know Menno doesn't line tanks routinely, only if the customer requests. His tanks are acid dipped prior to any work, so they are scrupulously clean inside before lining.

Menno Dek. Painter in Germany who many of us use on a regular basis for doing paint work on our classic Hondas. The best painter in my opinion and I know many others have the same view of his work.

If Menno got his act together and sent me an image file, he’d be in the forum sponsors section with Piki and Marcel.
