Just preparing the Z1000 MKII for it's winter layup.

I've drained the carbs & tank.

Had a good look in the tank with a torch & there is some very light rust but nothing too serious.

Just wondering what's the best method to remove the rust that's not going to damage the paintwork or the fuel tap internals?

Your advice please.

Harpic / coke mix ?

Have you got any details of how it's done?

I used 3 parts coke (cheap coke, not pepsi) to 0ne part harpic.....bloody good stuff, works a treat. Be careful not to let it fizz up and over onto the paint work. I poured the liquid in very slowly to minimise fizzing up. Just leave for 5-7 days and hey presto, no rust left. Oh, yes must remove fuel tap and block off the hole.
