    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.

fuel tank cleaning

I have a 79 GS1000 the tank has been recently kreemed but I still have some sort of crap in the tank. What is the best way to flush out the tank?
 
take the fuel tap off and dump what ever fuel is in it into a bucket, whilst you have the tap off open it up and clean it out to. If you leave the fuel in the bucket a day or two you can then sieve it and reuse it in the tank if you have to.

Small addition, but vitally important....if you keep the fuel it MUST be kept tightly covered.

Gasoline/petrol tends to give off vapours which will invariably build until they spill over the top of the bucket and fall to the ground or floor.

Unless there is good ventilation AND a constant flow of air to remove them, the highly flammable vapours will pool on the ground, where they can easily collect in sufficient quantity to become explosive.
 
Then if you have a garage set up like a certain Ambulance service I know of, when the water heater cuts in, boom 8O there go the doors to your bays! :P
An electric heater was later installed four feet off the floor. :lol:

Discard the gas, in a safe manner :wink: and fill it up at the gas station. For a few bucks worth of gas, save your garage.
