    after acid or evaporust treatment, how do you stop flash rusting during flush? where I live, flash rust is almost instant during flushing

      @How2Wrench  4 года назад +2

      I hear you...This video was shot in Iowa and we had pretty fast flash times too. I would give a "light" rolling flushes toward the point I wanted to add the liner.

    The tank I have has been sitting for 13 years with fuel in the tank. I've used vinegar and bolts, then learned there was a factory liner. I was about done except for a small portion of rust and old liner still attached. I've used diluted Muriatic for a few hours. I've used MEK for about 5 mins..... and still has a portion of rust and liner. Any ideas on how I can get a clean liner?!

    Hey Shane...., great video. I'm having in issue with the tank off my 95 wideglide. Exterior paint is mint, but the inside coating is flaking off like crazy. Flushed it many many times and right now I have it soaking in the evaporust. The tank has a cross over line and the exits are really tight making it difficult to extract that old liner (oem). what would you suggest that might break up and dissolve it? Will the evaporust be enough? Thanks, Kurt

    was that just duct tape around the top? I'm having trouble sealing the top gas hole on my 2007 bonneville tank. I've got everything in the tank clean except the very top. I'm not sure how to seal the gas hole so I can put the tank upside down for a few hours with liquid inside to clean to top. It leaks with the cap on. With my old Triumphs I just put an expanding plumbers plug in the gas hole, but that won't work with a modern Triumph.

      I've used fat rubber plugs that I even siliconed in place and yes duct tape...it's simply risky and terrifying to think of a leak and ruining good paint. Here are the plugs: amzn.to/3PYukvF

    You did not show the critical steps. Some of the other things you demonstrated were nice; however, the core of sealing a fuel tank is Evaop-Rust and then the 3 steps noted in the in the Northern Kit.

    6:27 Use a dental mirror, or remove your blocking plate from bottom of tank, so you can show use how spotless the top half of the tank is. If you keep a tank FULL of fuel, less rust occurs, because rusting only occurs where there is air.

    Hi.
    Whats the best method/product to remove stale petrol residue/varnish from a fuel tank? I have an rc51 tank that has mint paintwork so i dont want to risk damaging this.
    Cheers

    • @How2Wrench
      @How2Wrench  5 лет назад

      Hello. If its just varnish, I would not use this kit as you don't really want to etch the tank. Diesel and Kerosene fuels may work a little more aggressive along with fuel itself. Keep in mind your fuel pump and filter are located in the tank on the RC51.
      -I would remove the pump and hand clean (replace the filter of course).
      -Spray carb or brake cleaner up inside to breakdown any visible varnish
      -Then make a plate to cover up the fuel pump mount.
      -Then eat your Wheaties as your going to slosh the fuel around to breakdown the vanish.
      -Drain and reassemble

      @@How2Wrench Thanks for the help. After removing the fuel pump i can now see i do have a tiny bit of rust on the weld seam running over the top of the tank and on the filler cap neck obviously these spots weren't submerged in the fuel while the bike was sat for a number of years. i was thinking of filling the tank with apple cider vinegar and then neutralizing with baking soda but i wondered would the apple cider vinegar etch the tank or is it not strong enough to harm good steel? If it is harsh to good steel i think i would use metal rescue or evaporust. Cheers

    The instructions on the northern fuel tank liner literally says do not blow air into the tank to help dry it as it will produce bubbles in the liner.

    • @How2Wrench
      @How2Wrench  Год назад

      Hi Aaron. Just to make sure something hadn't changed since I made this video years ago. I decided to grab the newest version of the instructions and verify.
      You are referencing what we do at @8:37 by moving air across the tank area and out the door. The instructions actually "literally" saw to do this as you can see here in step 12 www.northernradiator.com/UserFiles/Documents/Product/Tank%20Liner%20Tech%20Bulletin.pdf
      What they mean by do not blow air is forced air with a blow gun. Air movement is a desired benefit. Hope this clears it up for you.
