New Gas Tank?

Oct 07, 2005 4 Replies

As soon as I finsihed the front brakes and install the Master Cylinder I am putting the gas tank back in. The one I have is a little rust but it may ok. Shoud I go with a new Gas Tank? And if so who has the best tnak for the $$$?



Thanks Steven



New ones are not same quality as old OEM German ones. If its just surface rust and not pitted it can be cleaned and made like new. Eastwood has a cleaner and coating for treating the inside of the tank. I've heard people clean the inside by putting a chain or rocks in side and really shaking it then coating it. I bought a Brazilian made one from CIP1 for around $60 - quality ok but not great. .

Good time to do it since you'll want access to bottom of the tank and you'll already have that if you're doing the MC.
