How Do You Remove Rust From A Motorcycle Gas Tank?
If you notice bits of rust in your motorcycle’s fuel filter, the most likely cause is rust inside your gas tank. It’s usually not hard to remove it, but it is time-consuming. Here is one way to get the job done, without using a chemical cleaner. Remove all the gas from the tank. This can usually be done by shutting off the gas at the petcock below the tank, removing the fuel line, then attaching another line or piece of hose to the valve, opening the petcock and draining the gas into an approved gas container. Remove the gas tank. There may still be some gas left in the tank, so be careful. Depending on the motorcycle, this can be as simple as taking out a single bolt found near the base of the tank, next to the front of the seat. A good repair manual specific to your bike can show you how. Remove the fuel petcock and any inside filters from the tank. Also remove the fuel sender, if any, and any other valves from the tank.
