Since the last post was 1.5 years ago, are we to assume this is another of his projects that he didn't finish?

The gentleman took the time to post the following answer to my question :

"I built it up just far enough so I could sell it. It's out in west someplace now."

So , obviously , he left the finish details to the new owner .

Frame, Tank, Seat, Controls, Etc / Re: Tank Sealing
« Last post by pd on November 09, 2023, 01:59:38 PM »
My '57 tank had enough rust that I didn't want to run it .

I treated it with Wood Bleach ( Oxalic acid ) and it truned out right .


I did not use any sealer after that^ .

I have used RedKote on my 'Swiss cheese' 1989 Yamaha XT 350 gas tank , which turned out good .
RedKote is fairly 'runny' . Enough so that I think it would run through the holes at the top of the tank divider .
Sure , it would take a bit of patience , but ...
I think that^ because I drained the excess RedKote out of the XT tank through its petcock mount hole . That hole is about 1/2" x  1 1/2" or less , which seems smaller than some of the hols in the divider .
RedKote can be thinned slightly with MEK or acetone .

Has anyone used a tank sealant to treat the inside of a Simplex gas tank?
If so, how did you deal with the center partition?
Thanks.

Thank you all.  It was way too much work for such a simple mistake.
