    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. 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...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Does this look like some kind of liner

When i picked up this 85 gs450 i noticed there was black ick in the tank. The bike has sat since 08-09 with 1/4 yo 1/2 tank gas. Gas was still liquid and thin but if you rubbed your finger on the bottom it would leave a black film on your finger. I have worked with electrolysis for about 5 days changing it and cleaning the anode 2-3 times a day. No more rust . When i pulled the petcock (Was no good anyhow) the black stuff was all laying by the petcock. I flushed it pretty good Have a few small pin holes that are leaking but they are all up high none on the bottom. I have never seen anything that was black and orange. The tank looks like the inside has been etched pits everywhere. What does this crap look like to you. I am beginning to think the tank is junk but i will keep messing with it. 85-gs 450l tanks are hard to come by. Has nice paint and not dented up.
 
the reason i think it might be some kind of sealer the big orange pieces 1 side rusty the other is smooth as glass
