removing fuel tank coating

BobTheBiker · 06-09-2009, 11:40 PM

Is there any way to strip a sealing coat off the inside of a fuel tank that has been sealed so it can be cleaned properly and recoated?

The reason i ask is the previous owner of my 1000R didnt clean much of the rust or dirt for that matter out of my fuel tank, and it needs to be cleaned properly, so as to prevent further deterioration of an already shitty seal job. the right side of the tank looks like theres just a BIG ole blob of that sealer in the lower corner that needs to be cleaned out.

Yes I'm obsessive about these things. shit like this bothers me, I'm obsessed with having everything 100% right.
