Fuel tank cleaning

Seamus:
Seem to recall reading an article relating to the use of electrolysis to clean tanks. May have a copy, I will have a search and see. Supposed to be very effective.
I seem to recall that it may have been on the US site that I saw it.

Waggles:
Good point Seamus, I remember seeing it being done in an episode of 'Cafe racer' if I remember correctly but no details were given. Took a while I think.

What about nickel plating the inside of the tank to stop rust in the future? from what I know of electroplating I would have thought results would be mixed at best due to the shape of the tank but its a thought, anyone done anything like that? am loathe to use a liner as heaven knows what the fuel industry will be dumping in fuel in the future ......

Seamus:
Not sure plating the inside of the tank is an option. just keep fuel in it. I will have a dig and see if I can find the article

Tomb:
Doesn't the new E10 ethanol fuel eat some tank sealants?

Worth checking any tank sealant used is compatable if going that route?? :-\

E10 fuel clicky
