Scabby Slabby 1100 thrown up another error !!!!

The petrol tank is rusty in side to a point it has tiny pinholes underneath where it sits attop the air filter,is this fixable or scrap ?

[no class]

seen the "hump" cut out and a flat plate welded in place.....gave the tank more fuel capacity  as the bike was used for a cross country race NYC to LA . I am sure it can be repaired as long as there is no rot in the tank seam .

Thanks for the reply,

Seams are good but really looking for a temp fix so I could put fuel in it as I need to sell the bike and I assume the new owner would source a good secondhand tank

then a tank sealer/epoxy is your only choice

Ok thanks,

So is it a good idea to remove the rust  first or does the tank sealer do the job

[no class]

tank sealer kit has the acid / etch pre-epoxy application ……..pretty straight forward to use . it will seal up pin holes

Thanks on Amazon now !!

You can get pinholed tanks brazed if you take it to someone who knows what they are doing. I had a small trail bike tank done earlier this year by Racepaint near Nottingham. The tank then needs to be lined as a belt and braces approach. I used POR15 through recommendations here, there and everywhere. It's easy to use but not cheap but it does not fail over time like cheaper alternatives, apparently.

+1 for por15
