[QUOTE="issy, post: 13653, member: 29"] is there a specialist refurbisher or refurbishing method to fix petrol tanks then? The US cowboy who sold me the tank had told me he's steamcleaned inside... when I presume now all he did was wash it out with water (if at all) and it looks like the plonker may have filled the tank up with paint for some reason! First ride as tank became emptier just led to breakdown... fuel starvation.. newly painted gunge in in-line fuel filter. After while started again... then 2 miles stop.. on and offf doing this getting worse.... more cr*p in filter.. eventually leading to it blocking big time... sooooooo......... what to do now? Is tank going to always be creating this problem - how can cr*p be removed, how will I know cr*p been removed and how can tank insides be sealed ... how will I know if tank is rusted on inside? No holes / leakages if that's any consolation! Will all this gunge have damaged fuel pump or anything else on way to in-line fuel filter... fortunately that stopped gunge going into carb (I hope)... thanks! [/QUOTE]
