Fuel Tank De-rust & Seal (BMW R65)

What's Up Peeps!! Kicking off my return this year with a fairly comprehensive guide on de- rusting and then liquid lining the steel fuel tank from a BMW R65 motorbike, which, is older than me...
Let's see if I can give this fuel tank the final touches of a nice cleaned out interior, preventing further corrosion and contamination in the fuel.

I debated pouring liner in and after cleaning all of the flaking stock liner and rust out, I chose to not reapply liner because I read on line where some folks had the new liner flaking within a year. Too much work to have to remove a liner again. The advice was, always refill the tank with fresh fuel after riding to prevent new rust forming. After three years, still good. I have an R80 BMW tank and I used BBs instead of nuts, which shook out easily. I need to paint the filler neck which has formed some surface rust. I have a Motone Monza gas cap which I pulled to check for rust recently.😎

Heads up for next time, Citric acid works better/faster. Its cheaper and doesnt smell either.

Aww thanks for the advice mate. True there is a few different options to do this, but this seemed the most straightforward at the time. Cheers for watching 👍🏾

@@gurneyzprojx looked like it worked perfectly tbf. Both get the same result. As said just a bit quicker.
