Sorta sick sporty

I'm back with more dumb questions I've got a bad problem with my fuel tank. It seems as though my inner tank was stripped and sealed improperly. I know this since at my last couple fill ups I could see large flakes floating around in my liquid gold. Is my tank junk?? Can I re-strip and seal it?? As of now I'm going to wash was tank out and run it! Gotta get ready for spring fast!

Awesome thanx, was told it wouldn't reseal but I can't hardly make it any worse right! can you recommend a sealing kit?

Have you looked at replacing the tank ?

Kinda but don't really want to if I don't have to. I already have a custom fat bob and can't decide on anything I like better right now. Plus the money thing:-/ sweet bike brother !

over the years I've had so many problems with Old gas tanks that has been resealed cloggin up fuel lines, messing up carbs and giving problems.
Nothin like a new fuel tank. Git rid of the problem for good.
And with the Ethanol in the fuel, its eating up things like no tomorrow.

you make a good case and in the future I do plan to change it but for now I just want to make it work at least another season

A season is all year for me. That's a long time.
I'd be going on motorcycle forums and ebay and bike swap meets lookin at new tanks for something to do.
You never know what you might find.
And this is startin the season for it.

Nothin worst than break'n down away from the house.
Would hate for my bike to be on the side of the road.

What does a custom fat bob tank look like by the way.........

Old Chucktx might axidently have one in his garage........

Check out some auto radiator shops...ask if they have done motorcycle tanks...if they have they can clean and reseal yours for about the same price as the kits...better way to go IMO, no toxic chemicals for you to mess with and the coating to slosh around....most of the kits are crap anyway...I had the tanks done on my Evo buy a local rad shop over a decade ago and they're still as good as the day they did them...Drop it off, pick it up,shell out a few bux and you're ready to roll

well I guess it's just part of a softail custom kit for my sportster and I would take just about anything I could get for a real good price

That is a good post lucifer.
Never had a radiator shop to do one.

yeah excellent advice thanks lou

You just don't want your tank to be the first one for them... unless they'll guarantee your paint job

When I see the radiator shops I see the soldering it with a torch.
Thought he would have to git it hot to seal it with solder after he cleaned it with Acid.
