Rusty tank restoration

<< < (3/5) > >>

Sesman:
That’s the stuff. Works really well.

Laverdaroo:
Tip noted, cheers chaps, I’ve to sort the 550 tank out before I send it in for paint.
 I’m in the states from next Thursday until late December so going to tackle it when I get back.
I was going to go the vinegar route but this gubbins sounds just the job. Is there a specific recipe for a 550 tank, eg. Can I do it with one tub? Just so I order enough to be here waiting for when I get back?

Roo, I've found Evaporust great at removing rust from the inside of a tank.....

If the tank is pitted, I'd be tempted to seal with tank sealant.

Send us a postcard!

Laverdaroo:
It’s not that bad Matt with little putting, it’s about the only bit of the bike I lucked out on

I’d love to use evaporust but it’s a bit cost prohibitive tbh. This gubbins described earlier has a good right up and I can do the tank from top to bottom for 16 quid so it’s looking favourable. It would cost about £50 to do the same with the evaporust. I do use it but only on bits n bobs. How’s the hand doing, you managing a yet ?
