Plastic tank shrinking, minor success story

[greenmonster]

Maybe belongs in th The fix is in thread, but, anyway.

Read at multistrada.net about some trying to dry out tanks to shrink.
I had a go at it, gave it 3 months.
Removed pump, had an old PC HD fan in the pump cavity 2 of three months, open cap all the time, done in dry room temp garage.
Bit hard to measure but tank is about 3 mm shorter!
Can remove and refit with just hands, gone are any tools+violence.
Very pleasing for the soul.

It is, isn't it 

Well done.

I have experienced the same, then I coated the inside of the tank with Caswell.

Good result. That fan worked hard!

after struggling for years even had the third replacement tank coated before install. I moved the mounting hinge back about a 1/4 inch. Now it works like it did when first purchased on my 07 S4RS
