To dry, I turn the tank upside down and blow air into the filler with a heat gun on low and all the openings unplugged. Keep the heat gun about a foot away or you can scorch the paint on the tank bottom. Go ahead...AMHIK. [bang]

I have a heat gun but I use a cheapo small hair dryer.  The heat output is much lower than a heat gun's and it also has a no heat setting.

But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

I only made that mistake once. The tank was getting painted so it was really a non issue.

Coating tanks is time consuming enough. I get tired of waiting for things to happen.

Because 'they' don't have to do it. ;)

I had an awful time getting rust out of a 37 year old CB200 tank. I'd already tried The Works, vinegar, multiple other remedies. Read good things about "Evaporust" and it was all that. Soaked a couple hours, all rust gone. Summit Racing and Harbor Freight sell it, $8 quart should do you.

Evaporust is a good product.

You can by a concentrated version online and end up with 5 gallons of mixed product.

They need to learn math

"Red-Kote has
been tested extensively with E85 (15% Ethanol)
gasoline and it works great."

also:

"Do not use Red-
Kote on fiber-glass or any plastic."

I am concerned that it is a 1-part "polymer".. sounds like Kreeem.
