Tank Rust Removal

<< < (2/3) > >>

shifter:
When I derusted  my corroded/rust in the tank of my S90, I  filled tank with coca/cola left for a few days , tipped that out refilled with vinegar and a few sharp chippings for another few days , shook a round , result nice shiny tank, Hope this is some help ,

Never line your tank it will be the last time you use the tank, when it fails and it certainly will it cannot be removed, so I recommend an acid wash with pool acid diluted 50:50 followed by neutralize with baking soda solution which should be left in the tank for 1 day

Oh no, please don't tell me that. I'm trying to sort a tank now that has been lined, its all flaking off in big lumps. The annoying thing is its a good tank that someone couldn't get the taps to seal so they lined it. I was going to fill it with Acetone for a week.

bhudders:
Lined tanks are very difficult to repair try the acetone see if it softens the liner this is precisely why it shouldn’t be used you could cut the underneath of the tank open to do the job but that would require a complete repaint etc

I had two different liners fail on my CB750, ruining two otherwise perfect paint jobs.

After that i bit the bullet and bought a new one (perfect replica) from David Silver.
