charliechitlins Posted September 20, 2005 Report Share Posted September 20, 2005 You're probably talking about that yellow/brown that's the color of a hard-drinking secretary's teeth. It comes from the inside and seeps through the plastic. As far as I know, there's nothing you can do about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james111089 Posted September 20, 2005 Report Share Posted September 20, 2005 i think on my old ty250 pinky i used something like cream cleaner and alot of elbow grease. James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wallace Posted September 21, 2005 Report Share Posted September 21, 2005 Try putting it through the dishwasher with two tabs. Dont try to paint it coz it just bubbles up. Like the man says the fuel permeates through from the inside, there is no coating available that sticks to oil, petrol and polyeurethane, trust me, I tried it, what a bloody mess. May I suggest buying a tank cover or a metal tank if you want it to look pretty? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wobbly1 Posted September 21, 2005 Report Share Posted September 21, 2005 (edited) I used Jif (or is it Cif now ) which cleaned it up a little but you'll never get it back to the original white colour. I cleaned and re-painted the frame a gleaming white colour and the tank looked worse than ever. Paint the frame a dirty cream colour and your tank will look like new Edited September 21, 2005 by wobbly1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
