Chemical stripping

(1/4) > >>

royhall:
Anybody know where I can get a petrol tank chemically stripped inside and out preferably in the Lancashire area. Or one that has a reliable courier service. Cheers.

K2-K6:
This seems to be well regarded in classic car world,  maybe suitable for you.

Unsure of logistics from your location.

Found a place near me in Preston but it's not a chemical dip process. It's an oven thing, is it suitable for bike tanks?

K2-K6:
I'm not certain as I thought they baked the car shells to assist in removal of all the underseal,  sealant etc prior to acid dipping.

It maybe worth discussing with spl their process to see what's on offer as they should be able to at least describe to you if they take on tanks. 

Or contact Menno to gain more insight,  hopefully he'd be willing to discuss.

Trigger:
You have to be very careful of chemical stripping a tank. I took what looked like a good tank to be chromed and was advised that they would not be responsible for any holes that appeared as, it would go through 8 different processes that takes a layer off each time  :o
