550 k3 tank

(1/7) > >>

MikeM:
going to post up some photos of the  tank, very original tank but sat untouched for at least 2o years if not more

all there ,would like to keep original paint , has a few hairline cracks but overall not bad looking

So petrol inside what problems am i likely to come up against and cures

ie tank and petrol tap ?

thanks

It is good to find out that you have petrol still inside the tank. It stops the rust build up. When you are ready to fit the tank, empty it out and remove the fuel tap. The tap will only need some WD40 and the o'rings replaced, Hopefully. Check what condition the petrol is in, look for any bits of rust.
If the tank shows signs of surface rust. This can be cleaned very easy. 

MikeM:
sounds hopeful, i was worried the petrol would do same sort of damage its done to carbs, not sure on  inside yet but will post up some pics for you to see

thanks
