Subject: Re: [TR] Gas tank repair
When I did the restoration on my TR250 I used Eastwoods Kit, my tank =
wasn't leaking, but I did it as a preventative measure. If I recall the =
process has 3 steps. There is a step where you use acid to clean the =
inside so be careful. I threw a handful of nuts and bolts in the tank to =
help dislodge any rust during the acid step while agitating and flipping =
the tank. Make sure its sealed well. Then I believe the next step was a =
phosphate solution and after that the latex. It was a bit laborious but =
totally doable.
