Gas Tank Restoration & Repair

Has anyone had their tank restored by this shop.....

Seems reasonable for what they do....$300 to $400....

Moyer Fuel Tank Renu

 

Checked out their process and is sounds very impressive. Can't say I have ever heard of the Renu product. However, the cost seems prohibitive. I would never do it. By the time you spend the average $350.00 and then still require the tank to be painted. You are looking at a $500.00 investment. For a long time owner that have a trusted, reliable bike and emotionally attached to the bike, it may make sense. Especially if you plan on having a very expensive paint job done and you want the guarantee that it won't leak. For most people however (cheap B@$#0 like myself), that is way to costly. As far as the rust and leak guarantee, I was convinced that they are reputable and have been around for awhile. All in all, I think you can find someone to do the same thing for you for half the price. Difference is, they would use something like Redcote instead of the Renu. I have seen others that cut the tank in order to clean it out and fix leaks, and then weld it back together. Then it should be pressure test afterwards.

That would be me....sure beats paying 15k to 20k for a new Hardley

 

There is a product I bought for around 50$ it will clean up rust then coat the inner. Ask your local shop . If I was home I could tell u the name. Will reply with it! Good luck

 

down the bottom it says
" Apply 2 coats of lacquer primer" then they say "Do not use lacquer thinner at any time."
maybe you want to ask the guy who is going to paint it about that.
seems the top coat should determine the primer

 

I just finished my tank. Used the 50 dollar stuff that was previously mentioned. Its a little messy. But man it works awesome!
