I tried using acetone to get the stuff out but that just made it worse. What can I use to get this gunk out or should I scrap it and go with a new one?
Thanks
Andy

If it is frame mounted, there are no reproductions so you will have to repair the one you have, fabricate a new one, or hunt for one that you can adapt. A seasoned radiator gas tank repair shop can clean out your old one and apply sealer. New under seat tanks are relatively inexpensive. | | | | | Joined: Jun 2014 Posts: 128 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jun 2014 Posts: 128 | Under seat, Guess I'll go repro

My guy strongly discourages any sealer afterwards. Says they all tend to fail sooner or later. His feeling is if you keep it full of gas it won't rust. Seems to work. | | |
