If you are applying sealing products to your tank, and if the fuel cap has breather holes to allow air to enter. Make sure you don’t gunge them up with the sealing compound.
I learned this the hard way.

Yep preparation, yes its a teewat, but if you want it right, patience and preparation ive just done an RD125LC Tank for a guy, leaking like a t**t from the seams at bottom edges it took me eight weeks but now no leaks!! he can have hours of fun tee cutting brown stains from edges ho ho, coz I'm not bloody doing It.[/quote]

my worst experience to date was removing a clear liner on my h2a tank, the paintwork is stunnning on it but the liner came apart internally ( done a long time ago) I used a resin stripper from caswell which is extremely powerfull, had to sit the tank in all positions , even upside down

I masked the tank with masking tape all over, then applied marley drainage flash, a waterproof sticky bitument, sealed all the joints, then finally the tank inside 2 bin liners taped at the neck. no stripper got through to the paint, and the good thing was there were no holes in the tank...[/quote]I've just put back together my RX, taken off road 93 put back on road 2012(know this from old tax discs in holder) during 2012 the poor bloke who rescued it tried all sorts to get it to sort of run, airbox off, k&n's s/h carbs, cdi, it still ran like a bag of shite but was lacking running correctly so I got it for 800 squid, took it on the Z1oc Yorkshire do, stainless tail xhausts, it was a bugeroo to start and was'nt all there the bloke I got it off said" You don't need Choke to start it" You do now and yesterday after cleaning and sealing that big red tank last year, for seals caliper refurbs carbs upjetted and pilots plus all blown through with compressor and carb cleaner, APE filters, and new wellies..... one nice new MOT with the only advisory of loud pipes!!!
