550 k3 tank

<< < (4/7) > >>

Trigger:
The cheapest way is find a nice gravel drive way at 3am, and take a couple of kilo. Make sure you have the tap removed and cap that off. Put the gravel in the tank and wrap it in a blanket. Next line your tumble dryer with another blanket and put the tank in. Pack the dryer out with more blankets, so that the tank can't move and switch it on for 10 to 15 minutes.
Once the gravel has gone its job. Empty out and flush with water.  It doesn't get any cheaper than that.

I filled mine with water and soap powder. Can't remember if it was Surf or Daz though. :) Works on light rusting. Lots of powder.

Trigger:
That's more expensive Les :)

LesterPiglet:
Yes but it smells lovely after. :)

MikeM:
giving it a wash then as above

is there no filter in these bikes ?

undone the petrol tap and nothing in it?

looks like I need a new seal round the tap but was expecting some sort of gauze?
