Hello gents hope your enjoying the sunshine. Advice needed regarding my new petrol tank purchased from Burtons ( excellent service by the way ). It's been in storage for sometime but appears spot on. My question is what is the preperation for the inside before actually using it. The inside seems to be lined with a red lead type paint! Should i just flush and flush again until it shows clear? Obviously paint will come later. Any advice gratefully recieved. Regards
Dave
If the tank is a Indian one
Leave the internal paint asit won't come. My Indian tanks are still good after years of use
The Indian made tanks are normally internally finished with a red coloured sealer or liner looking a bit like a Red Kote finish. It's there as a rust inhibitor but may also be there to seal any pin holes in the welded seals. How good it is compared with Red Kote or POR-15 is difficult to say?
