March 2, 20215 yr Just received the correct tank for my 116 , hasn’t had fuel in for a long time and I need to line the inside . I’m thinking of using caswell . A few people have suggested rattling screws about to key the glass fibre , I’m ok with that but not sure what to use to get the inside grease free , I imagine the rough glassfibre interior will be oily from the petroil mix , long since evaporated . Any suggestions ?
March 2, 20215 yr i used acetone to rinse my sherpa fibreglass tank before coating and its still holding up well, its had fuel in it for 10 months and no sign of breaking down. i think it was flowliner i used. cheers

March 2, 20215 yr Author How did you find flowliner to use ? I can’t find a supplier that doesn’t want £16 for delivery to AB556ST. So I’m a bit p****d about that .

Went through a litre of acetone and it was still coming out brown . The tank must have been left with two stroke mix for years and it’s evaporated leaving the oil . I think another litre and it will be clean enough to coat .
