Yes, as with any flamms, I'd do that outside to reduce risk of inhalation and combustion problems ;D
Another to try if that doesn't touch it, you can readily buy methanol from model rc nitro-motor suppliers.

MEK is not to be Fu**ed with - but it should get the liner out.

How much in a tank James do the fumes work in it as well as the liquid !
MrDavo:
I got some MEK on eBay from Switzerland to remove the paint from the inside of my CB750's bearing journals, after recommendations on here. You can't get it in the EU, apparently, because it has killed people with the fumes. It worked a treat but I also bought a mask and goggles.
As far as liners go, my 750 tank had a blister from petrol getting though a small pinhole, so Menno removed the old failed liner with an acid bath dip and applied a new one, which also subsequently failed.
Analysis shows that the new liner had reacted with traces of the old one, which had survived in the original hole. The solution ended up being a new tank from Silvers, surprisingly good value (and quality) and no more grief.
