I wish I had done that in addition to the acid bath. The instructions said to throw a cup of small stones and shake it up to knock all the rust loose. I didn't do that. My work is still holding, but it's a ticking bomb. I just hope it doesn't blow while I'm still riding it....after I'm dead would be ok.

Sometimes you scare me with those brain storms.
As far as DOG goes, my best friend is a 80 lb Boxer.

BTW, when my son and I rejuvenated a 1975 Honda CB 125, one of us held the tank while the other stuck a pressure washer in and very carefully BLASTED the inside with WATER until junk stopped coming out......Worked like a charm.

I can see getting a bunch off the sides and the bottom but I don't see that working on the top of the tank.

You might want to start with TD's method then go to the acid for a more complete cleaning.

I like the old tanks compared to the new ones!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Did you get tired of having the "Dead mans hand" on the side of your bike?
