Mine cleans up pretty easy. Oil hasn't been a problem.

I had mine powder coated and did the strut bar in gloss black powdercoat.

So cutting some wood siding with my table saw to fix a bad piece on my house, one of the pulleys on the motor go flying across 

the garage and smacks the passenger side door on the 2002. Left a nice quarter size dent, didn't break the paint so will see if they can PDR it.

WTF f*%k 2020,,   I can't even drink cause I have blood work in the morning and it can screw up my white count.  Need to keep my Oncologist happy.  

crappy pic of crappy dent.

Copied some members here and made a fuel pick up tool.

Wow is right. Just when I thought I was understanding my Weber 40's. ?

More info to confuse me even more.  Very Cool...

Gas Tank stripped,Red-Kote, primed, painted gloss black on top and Raptor bed liner on the bottom.

Raptor lining needs to cure for three days. Pretty happy with it.

Those look awesome! Amazon?  Link?   Thx!

Not cheap but works well, have the screwdriver/ratchet holders also. Tools don't slide around and saves time looking for stuff.

I have six sets of screwdriver holder and four of the wrench, need another four of the wrench holders. I always wait for a sale. Also opened up two drawers for more tools.? 

Adjusted both door latches,painted gas tank and will finish today with Raptor liner on bottom half of tank.

Happy birthday to me, bought some ToolBox Widget wrench holders.  Freed up a whole drawer.

Nope,   Mom look what I found can I keep it ?   Looks like a total money pit to me.

What's the saying.  The cheapest BMW's end up being the most expensive.   

Throw a couple grand at then you have a running car with a lot of rust.

Better examples out there.

Hey JP5, how hard of a process is that to do, and do you know how long it lasts once done?  Thanks!

I bought the tank used for a pretty good deal I thought.  I had it dipped for $50. and the Red-Kote was $34.  Plus I still need to paint the exterior.  I cleaned the inside again with Acetone per Instructions. Depends on the inside condition of your tank how much work you need to do in regards to rust.  Pull the sender and fuel pick up then slosh the acetone or Red-Kote around for like 20/30 minutes.  Then drain excess. Red-kote needs a day at least to 3/4 days dependent on the temperature.   

People have had pretty good luck with it lasting.  My search found 02 owners from 5 to 10 years ago with no problems.

Red-Kote states tanks are out there from  1985 still fine.  

Sealed my gas tank. I decided on Red-Kote, after looking at a half dozen brands. People seem pretty happy with the results.

So far so good.  Letting it drain right now,will let it cure most the week. 

All 2002's are something special. ?

Just got back new to me gas tank.Had it dipped turned out well. That and a couple small parts,$50.

Gloss black top and raptor bed liner on the bottom is the plan.

KBS tank sealer was recommended by someone that  restores motorcycle tanks.

Anyone here every use KBS solutions ?

Maybe you have this.

Are these Italian DCOEs/ Are you using soft mount gaskets?? Do you have the little washer cups and O-rings on the mixture screws?

Just checked my 40's and no o-ring/washer.  thanks not to hijack

Good luck with all of this.

My new to me used gas tank  showed up today.  Appears to be in pretty good shape.  Did a kiddie pool and soap test, no leaks at the seams.  Inside needs a good cleaning and the O-rings are rock hard,no surprise their.  Will do over the winter since The Vintage was cancelled till May.  Waiting on my Weber parts that they screwed up on,,,,uuuuugh .

Innova 5568, think I paid $105. from Summit through eBay.
