here we go again


there are bubbles but the waters not the colour it was last time , but saying that I have put 2kg of soda crystals in it this time.........

well the bikes all but back together

still a fair bit of carbon...

Almost a compliment there Terry 

Finished the electrolysis again and there is no noticeable difference the water ran clear no flakes that I even noticed   ,is it possible that it's no longer rust but crystallized petrol as my understanding is electrolysis won't do anything to that?

How do I get rid of the crystallized petrol? Is it harmful if left?

Just buy a new tank......

£941........ Otherwise I would other than the inside the tank is perfect as is the bike I can't even find a used green tank let alone a good condition one. Here is it after the 2nd electrolysis I'd say it looks worse , but it didn't budge anything this time and I did it for 5 times the length of time , I can only imagine that it's not rust in there now but varnished petrol

It definitely looks worse..... Not sure how that's possible.....

Top one is after first electrolysis bottom is after second attempt wtf it's got worse!

Pay someone to refurbish your one.

I'd quite happily do that as I imagine there is a professional method , I have popped into and rang round countless places and nobody seems to know how to do it , I'm tempted to cut the tank sand the shit out of it remote the inside and weld it up but I'd rather not I'm currently exploring the donor bike route....... If that don't work I'll try one of the more aggressive home solutions "concentrated acid" coz at the end of the day a fucked tank is a fucked tank I suppose....

Is it worth trying it again? Like you said, a fooked tank is a fooked tank. Is the stuff inside solid? Could you fill it up with water and stick a jet was in to aggitate the stuff off?

I'm going to try the electrolysis one more time , at the original mixture and I won't leave it over night , going to attack it with a steel paint stirrer and see if it comes off easy , I'll try the acid next if electrolysis doesn't help it sure can't make it worse

Bin it and buy a good secondhand one...or new.
And don't argue.
