This topic keeps rearing its head here, and generally though, the answer is ‘don’t go there unless you really need to’.

To (hopefully) mitigate tank rusting issues I add 2T (ie 2 stroke) oil to my CB750 @ every fill up, at abouts 100:1; it certainly doesn't seem to mind…

I used 2 stroke oil in my 750, now on castor oil as recommended by guys here on forum. 100:1, mainly for exhaust preservation.

Echo Lobo, there seem to be fixes using various fluids, have heard Allen Millyard describing using diesel or brake fluid or something. Worth waiting until really needed. (For any liner) I think I used a ply blank, with an improvised inner tube seal, over the outlet hole screwed down so the liner didn’t get into the threads, and then unscrewed when partially set.
In the case of POR15 it was lumpy in the tin, difficult to mix, and the lid was virtually bonded on, so mine may have been a bit old! If in doubt, sometimes a job left to a specialist!
