How to Remove Internal Rust from a Gas Tank: Cleaning and Sealing Kit

In motorcycles older than 10 years, with metal fuel tanks, internal corrosion is common. This is caused by the chemical components of the fuel (especially if it contains large amounts of ethanol) and, above all, by the humidity that comes from the outside air and condenses in the tank.

This corrosion forms rust deposits on the walls and bottom of the fuel tank, which, when loosened by the vibrations and movements of the motorcycle, end up clogging the fuel filter, fuel tap, carburetor, and injectors.

The best way to prevent and combat this oxidation is by using a Cleaning and Sealing Kit , which in a first stage cleans and removes dirt and then creates a protective internal layer that protects the tank walls.

Even steel gas tanks can develop corrosion,

that accumulates inside.

To begin, we will clean this residue with the kit cleaner , removing the rust in an efficient way.

The next step is to apply the chemical rust neutralizer (included in the kit) which delays the formation of new corrosion.

Finally, we will apply the protector , which will create a layer resistant to corrosion and fuel, leaving the inside of the tank as good as new.
