GAS TANK REPAIR AND RESTORATION

I have been looking around to see where and how much it would cost to have my Gas tank restored. And I have found Moyer Fuel Tank Renu. They seen to have one of the best tank restoration process I've seen. I just want to know if this is a good idea. Take a look at this link you have to see this.

Repairing petrol tanks is a very hit or miss operation in my experiance.

If you want to try yourself there is a firm called POR 15 (but they are not cheep :blink: !) some people have good coments about their products, I have never used them myself. :unsure:

But ... by the time you work out the cost of all the materials required in some cases it may be cheaper to obtain another tank.

I have lined my tank with a three part liner called cream and it is awsom no more rusty crap in the carbs. The only thing is that it is a real pain to do.

You can also order a new tank from Bike Bandit for $237.26
If you need other parts then check out Bikebandits Web site, lots of part to pick from. For the tank go to the OEM tab on the site.

Hey Beer Runner I couldn’t find a the new gas tank from bike bandit for a 750 Maxim. Just says discontinued. I don’t know about doing my own tank liner afraid that I might do more hard then good. My brother had a 1969 Datsun roadster that had a rusty tank that he used a liner on that ended up not working right. To make a long story short he ended up having to redo the whole induction system.

There is a place in Langely BC that does this kind of work. I will get back to you tomorrow on that.
