Anyone ever use the gas tank coatings for the insides of the metal tanks? Are they worth a crap? Easy to do or is there a better solution? (other than a new plastic tank)

I use one of the coatings in an old jeep that I had and wasen't worth a crap. But that was years ago so they might have a better product out now?

 

[Fourtrax]

Kinda what I figured. Maybe I'll just put some marbles in it shake the $hit out of it, rinse, and put it back on.

They say bb's work really well and gets into the smaller areas.

 

[Fourtrax]

AH thats a good idea! I'll use BB's instead.

Yeah, I heard BBs work better, too. Make sure you put a good inline fuel filter on if you don't already have one on.

I don't have one on there yet but I am going to put one on. I have to clean it all up anyway because my reserve doesn't work (and I hate walking). and when I'm doing all that I'll clean the carb out and put in that bigger jet.

Yeah, I like reserve, too. I also hate walking.

Everyone does.LOL

Everyone does.LOL

Yeah, but probably not as much as I hate it.

 

[Fourtrax]

The Honda didn't cause you to have to walk, did it?

 

[Fourtrax]

NO! I caused myself to have to walk by not checking the gas first.. LOL But had my reserve been working I would have been fine. Still not the Honda's fault because I knew it didn't work. Hasn't worked for quite a while.

OK, I just wondered. LOL. I've rode Honda 4-wheelers, since they came out in 1984 and I've rode a lot. Honda has never caused me to have to walk. I own Yamahas, too, and they have never made me walk, but I haven't rode the Yamahas as much as I have rode the Hondas.

 

[Fourtrax]

Nope its never made me walk yet, nor has the Yamaha 200 my parents have had since I was a kid. There have been plenty of times the Yamaha wouldn't start so I could even leave with it.. but it never made me walk.. LOL

I have used a product called Kreem for motorcycle tanks and old lanterns that I restore. It's a long process but if you follow the instructions, exactly, it works great. I like to use a handfull of wood screws to clean the inside of metal tanks.

I never thought about the wood screws. I'll bet that would work good. All those sharp edges would remove the scale and rust quicker.

 

[Fourtrax]

Well I actually have some of those laying around.. LOL but I cringe just thinking about it makes me imagine fingernails on a chalk board.

 

[elmerkit]

Its really a crap, just keep the thank clean and try to have it always full tank to prevent rust and dirt.
