If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

Can Sea Foam be used in sealed tank?

The tank on my bike is sealed. I read a thread that mentioned using a little Sea Foam with each tank of gas to keep things clean and using more Sea Foam as a gas stabilizer through the winter. My question is - can I use Sea Foam in a tank that has been sealed? I don't want it eating away at the sealant.
 
Yes, it'll be fine.

Sea Foam is basically alcohol and a light purty-smelling oil. It's harmless to plastic and rubber, so anything used for a tank sealant won't be bothered one bit.
 
Youll need to see if Naptha will effect the sealer. While ISP (Isopropyl Alcohol) wont have much effect on it the Naptha might. Its just Petroleum Ether. Your sealer should have an MSDS that will give you a clue.
 
Which sealer did you use?
 
OK - I'll have to admit it - I had a radiator shop seal the tank. They charged $70 and cleaned it out with acid first before sealing it. After checking into doing it myself I thought that sounded fair. Anyway - I'll call them and ask what they used. Btw - the sealer is red/pink inside the tank. Does that help to identify what they used?
 
That might be Redcote, generally considered as good stuff. The old standard Kreem does not hold up to alcohols well.
 
Yeah, the radiator shoppe stuff is mighty tough. Sea Foam won't be a problem.
