How To Clean Your Vintage Honda Motorcycle Gas Tank

www.common-motor.com

A major step that needs to happen in almost every vintage motorcycle project at some point is bringing your gas tank back to life. Regardless if you ride a Kawasaki, Harley Davidson, Yamaha, Honda, BMW, Ducati, Moto Guzzi or old Suzuki, if your gas tank is rusty and steel you have come to the right place. If you are lucky its been sitting empty rusting away from 40 years of condensation, if you are unlucky you found the bike half full of old gas jello and a poorly put on tank liner. Either way it is a job that has to be performed if you want to give those carburetors on your CB175 / CB200 / CB350 / CB360 / CB450 / CB550 / CB750 even a chance at being reliable. We wanted to take a chance to show you our tried and true method of cleaning out an old rusty gas tank over here at Common Motor by showing you on one of our Fixin' 2 Ride project bikes, the "barn find" CB200t. All you need is $10 in vinegar and some old drywall screws and you should have that tank rust free and ready to ride right throughout summer.

Go ahead and rebuild those petcocks which you are working on the tank, the o-rings are old and they are just as packed full of years of dirt and debris:
