$1.99 Fuel tank rust removal

Honda XL70 fuel tanks don't grow on trees, they were a low production bike to start with and the tanks are getting more rare as they are a direct swap for the early and very popular XR75.

Not too many early XR75's tanks survived with guys like Jeff Ward setting a fast paced example. This leaves makes clean examples of the XR75/XL70 tank hard to come by and expensive.

I lucked out and picked up this peach XL70 tank for the low low price of $130 (shipping included).

Decent dent on the left side, shouldn't be too big of a deal. Petcock leaks like a sieve and then there's the issues within ...

But I ain't 'skeered. I've got the $1.99 secret weapon.

I love it when a plan comes together.
 
you need to neutralize the acid after you use it.. banking soda and water does this.. then hose it out and dry it with compressor
