scooters Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 once your done you can tip a epoxy in there that the fuel wont eat and coat the tank. All aviation fuel sites have the filter bowls covered in the stuff. It works a treat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piazzanoob Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 Have had the same issue aswell fuel turned to a varnish and can end up into sludge i just used some small chain with some of the shitty fuel and moved it around abit. don't use bike chain just normal chain as it has no sharp edges does take a abit of time to get it nice depending on condition. also when i did it it didnt appear to affect the zinc coating And generally the zinc coating wears off than chipping off in this case and if you are worried about leaving crap in the tank just redo it after a few tank fills of gas. does make it easy if it has a drain though 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUNAMUCK Posted April 6, 2019 Author Share Posted April 6, 2019 It has a drain bung. The old gas I drained out is being burned up in my 50cc. Fuck it stinks bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
