Re: gz gas tank needed

I got the tank i ordered on ebay today. What a perfect color match, i havent seen a red bike as red as mine, lol, but what a match. I see small rust stains on the inside, nothing major i think. I think im going to use a sealer for inside the tank before i use it and fill it with gas, whataya think ?

Sealer is the way to go peace of mind.

Re: gz gas tank needed

If they are only little surface spots, just keep it filled with gas and you'll be good. They rust when they sit empty for periods of time and go unattended. Keeping gas in it will keep it from growing.

Install an inline gas filter and ride it.

I'm with WW.Install a inline filter & ride.Keep the tank full of fuel & you will have no problems.My 22 year old bike has some rust in the tank & it's never given me any problems,or got any worse in 3 years.I don't like "Creme Liners".If they don't adhere properly they make a real mess.
:cool:

No,A inline filter is a aftermarket filter that is added between the petcock & carb.

Yup yup, this is a much finer fuel filter to catch the really small stuff and easily replaced if it plugs up with unwanted crap.
