Awesome video. I am about to do this to the same exact tank for a 1995 ultra classic. What type of plugs did you use to cap off the openings? What about the size of the bungs? Thank you!
I have a 1978 Honda Z50 with the original tank and paint in good order. The tank liner looks like POR15 and has failed. Will the product you used to clean this tank work on my tank? if so, what is the name of it?. Thanks and good video!
@Alex Escobar: Yes, the tank liner only needs one even coat on the inside. Once the interior has been completely coated, take the paint brush supplied with the kit, use the brush to soak up any excess liner, and carefully remove any puddles of liner out of the tank. You can also use this brush to touch up any areas that the liner did not reach. Air dry, DO NOT SET IN THE SUN OR HEAT.
Curious, I have a 2001 FLSTFI Harley Davidson Fatboy that my brother left me when he pasted away from cancer and it set for over 7 years before his wife finally transferred the title of to me and allowed me to get the motorcycle. The fuel in the tank went bad (smells like varnish) and ruined the liner inside to a point where a lot of it is flaking up. What would it cost me to have it cleaned with a degreaser or an acid and re-lined. Thanks for your time and this was a great video...thanks
@Tanim: I’ve tried a handful of tank liners over the years and found that the KBS coating was by far the best, but it must be applied properly. Some fuel tanks we have done tank liners on were in such bad shape that they needed to be stripped 2-3 times before it was ready for the final epoxy coating. If you have questions before doing a tank liner, send me an email to marcel@rushbikes.com and we can go over the steps together. I’d be happy to help you out.
next time use Kreem tank prep B.. After u wash it, drain the water as best as possible, put prep B in there swish it around dump it out and its automatically dry within seconds. no need 2 waste time drying it and giving surface rust time to grow.
@Rusty Stator: Those small hole tank jobs can be a nightmare, but not impossible. I will do a video on one of these tanks to show our audience how it’s done. Thank you for your comments.
Kbs coatings hands down the BEST fuel tank liner
This is the exact problemI'm having with my bike's tank! Although Houston isn't that far fr me (san antonio) wish you were here lol. Great video.

Great video man thanks
Super dope tutorial
What did you do to the fuel line connected to the quick release that is inside the tank?
What keeps the bottom cross over hose fittings from clogging? Basically the same procedure for new aftermarket tanks?
What products did you use?

I have a similar Harley gas tank (about 5 gallons) did you pour out some excess liner?
Thanks for the video.

Man that would probably cost you 250-350 dollars
Do i need to remove all of the old liner?
How do you not get flash rust?
What do you recommend redoing a gas tank that had a liner put in but didn’t adhere to the metal, and has never had any fuel in it ?
KBS coating Stripper
What has your experience been of KBS strip?

Dude found the easiest tank to work with
You need more than one gasket.
i’m in pa what if i shipped to you and sent over electronical payment?
i have a gsxr 600 2015
next time use Kreem tank prep B.. After u wash it, drain the water as best as possible, put prep B in there swish it around dump it out and its automatically dry within seconds. no need 2 waste time drying it and giving surface rust time to grow.
Now do a tank without a massive opening.... 😅

Looks like we'll be waiting for a while
Yea I was think I wish I could fit my hand in my tank that would be nifty
@@RUSHBIKESdotCOM how long do we need to wait for that?
Where are you located!
Do you have location in California
@Elmero Zohan: I currently operate out of Houston, TX. Email sales@rushbikes.com with your details and perhaps we can arrange your tank to be shipped.
you should be using eye protection !
You’re absolutely right. Thanks for looking out.
Could the heat gun somehow bubble yhe powder coat?
