I just used RustBeeter, spelled like beet. I works. took about a week, but all the rust is gone. This product doesn't remove metal like acid, and I don't know how it works. It's essentially molasses in a dry form, you mix it with hot water and pour it in and top up the tank. Amazing!

Did you leave the petcock and sending unit inside the tank ?Comment

There was a vendor at Vintage Bike Days, and I bought the tank size box for $20Originally posted by Dogma View PostComment

Ya, just leave it all in there. You have to clean the tank with some kind of degreaser first. And let some of the degreaser flow through the petcock, so there is no trace of fuel.Originally posted by jwhelan65 View PostComment

You said it took about a week, did you just leave sit or did you re-apply it?Comment

I just left it sit. You can drain it out and have a look, and if it's not done you can put it back in. There is a lot of material left in the tank unless you rinse it, but you can basically see if it's done its job. If satisfied with results, flush out the remaining material. Then dry it, prep it and coat it. I'm going to use POR-15, so my next step is their Metal Ready and then Tank Sealer. And the stuff you dump out you can use to soak other things in. But it won't keep for too long.Originally posted by jwhelan65 View PostComment

That Metal Ready stuff is basically phosphoric acid. If you leave it in the tank for a while the metal surface develops a chalky residue. I suggest you add some aquarium rocks to the rinse solution and shake the crap out of the tank to scrub the chalk off prior to applying the sealer.Ed

One word...
Rusteco! This stuff works great, non-toxic, you can use it more than once (just strain it out), when its used up you can pour it on your garden... Used it, love it, three days, tank is clean... No liner is needed after use...

Bad kreeme!
I started to take a closer look at my two projects, this is going to take much more than I thought.. The 83 has had a lot of hands on it (as most mechs know, this is BAD), not only that but somebody tried a Kreeme job without getting the rust out first! Ugh, this is going to take some serious work now...
The 82 is in better shape, tank has serious rust, no soft spots though, and NO Kreeme...
