Im working on my tank lately and have to tackle the rust on the inside of the tank. I called a radiator shop and they quoted me $85-95 to clean the inside without putting any coating on. Me being the DIYer that I am, Id rather try to do this myself as long as I can do it for uner $100. I figure if I can buy all the materials Ill need to do this tank for under the cost of paying someone, then ill OWN the materials needed to do other tanks. Trying to save some money in the long run.
Ive read about electrolysis and it seems like thats the way to go. Ive been looking on Craigslist for a trickle charger but in my reading ive seen that the type of charger you use is a very big factor. With that said, can anyone give me some advice or pointers as too what exactly I need to get to do this? Plan is to get a big rubbermaid container that I can put the whole tank in and do it to the whole tank. There is some rust on the underside of the tank as well so I figure I can kill two birds with one stone. After rust is removed, Im going to coat the inside with some Por-15 if I can find it or some other liquid liner. The underside of the tank will also get Por-15 or else some bed liner.
LOL note that this is in the bikes section so I would assume that it is the fuel tank on his bike. I am probably wrong though since there is no information aside from TANK in the post. I hope that it is a panzer.
