Failed Tank Liner
I'm going to have to try some MEK on mine. It's got a red liner over rust, so I figure I'll get rid of the liner, dump the five gallons of Evapo Rust I've got out in the mancave into the tank, and then reline it with the Caswell stuff. I've used it before, and it's tough as iron. Just have to make sure to use a funnel with a tube attached to put it in the tank so it can be directed onto the tunnel. I don't know why but it's almost impossible to get it to flow over the tunnel once it's in the tank.Last edited by dbeardslee; 08-23-2015, 01:47 PM.I think I have a loose screw behind the handlebars.

It cost me $500 for the tank and side panels. It was the lowest price quoted to me in the area. The tank was stripped but still required some dent repair._________________________________________

I prepped the inside of the tank using this system on Amazon.
In the past I've used vinegar to clean it out. This time the KBS Klean and Rust Blaster did it with much less work. I always fill the take with leftover nuts and bolts which I roll around in the tank.
I've never used this sealer before so the jury is still out but the rust blaster worked better than vinegar and still used water cleanup. Normally I would have used Red-Kote but this system was worth a try._________________________________________
