This tank has light surface rust inside. I want to restore properly and not damage the baffles inside or remove the copper plating under the black paint on the outside. What should be done? Thanks, Mark

Boiling out sounds good... I'm guessing this works for steel tanks?
I think bikers go with the electrolysis method so they can try to keep the original paint on the tank where possible. Or just maybe because people who ride old bikes are just CSOBs. |
