Whatever they lined my Harley Sportster Gas Tank with is flaking off inside the tank, and keeps clogging my petcock. I have rinsed it out but it just keeps flaking and clogging.
Hey Fellow Riders, What do I do now ?????

Dissolve it with Mythl Ethel Ketone and it will work fine.

i'm with clasqm, paintings with what you are able to desire to maintain your self an excellent style of frustration and price. a sturdy painter ought to 2 tone the tank in this way of way that it would look smaller than it particularly is while considered from the side (black real and border on the side with a white center the form of a peanut tank.) in case your bike is gas injected, you are going to prefer a return port on the tank to boot because of the fact the outlet. you will additionally would desire to make constructive the return has a examine valve.

get about a kilo of "oo" buckshot, put in tank.
shake the tank for about an hour in all directions.
clean out and rinse out thoroughly.
now, you can either use "kreem" or some such sealer, or you can just keep it full and not let it rust.
you may have to repeat this procedure again in a few months...

Empty tank out and fill with paint thinners swirl it around and empty it out and clean the inside with a cloth and bent wire then rinse it out with petrol leave the thinners in over night. Don't smoke while doing any of this job.

sand will make the job take forever you nedd some shot. i had the same problem with a tank i had, pain in the butt for sure. grab a six pack and shake it baby.....take your time and do it right. make sure to rinse the tank out well before putting back on your bike.

I suspect someone used Kreem on it. This stuff is crap. You can dissolve it with Mythl Ethel Ketone.

I've heard for years that you guys would rather push your Harley's than ride a Honda. Enjoy your trip. Remember for every uphill there is a downhill just over the top, so you will be able to ride half the time!
Take the tank off, Fill half full with fine clean sand, put cap on, shake like crazy(the tank), may try a hardware store and see if you could protect it with rags and clamp in a paint shaker, poor sand out, rinse thoroughly, if you use water get some WD40 and finish the rinse with it as it will get all the water out, reinstall on Sportie and meet me in Sturgis in August and tell me if it worked
