You could use a container of bb pellets as well. Nice job with all of your videos.

do you think i would need to do this to a tank that has been sitting on a bike and has not run for 6 years?

[mrmaxstorey]

@MommyBird10 Maybe, just open the tank and look inside and see if you see rust. If you see a lot, then definitely. If a little bit of rust, then fill it with gas and then empty it thru the petcock into a bucket. Take a look at what comes out, if a lot of rust then yeah its probably a good idea

@shirlemyj Good to hear, have fun with it

[shirlemyj]

@mrmaxstorey all is good. glad to give it a good home.

@shirlemyj Yeah fill the tank with water before you go welding away at it... gas is really flammable. Might it not be easier to get a CB750 or 650 tank and fabricate that to fit? BTW my friend says thank you for buying it and hes sorry you have to repair the tank.
