How To: Clean and Seal a Motorcycle Gas Tank | Yamaha RX50 Restoration
Вставка
- Опубліковано 23 лип 2019
- In this video, I show the process of cleaning and sealing my rusty 1983 Yamaha RX50 Gas tank using muriatic acid and por-15 gas tank sealer! This is a VERY important process, it will save your carburetors from getting clogged up, and could prevent your gas tank from leaking, gas leaks are very bad!
POR-15 Gas tank sealer is bad ass! It can seal pinholes, and even cracks!
Watch me restore a much worse gas tank: • Restoring a Rusty Gas ...

Recommendation : place some glad wrap ( plastic food wrap ) or rubber glove; under the gas cap to protect it from the sealer. There is a really tiny breather hole that you DON"T want to block !!!!! . :)
Thank Paul, That tip is very important on other tanks.
Just a tip for you, never EVER shake any sort of coating that you need to use to create an air-tight bond. Your going to create very small air bubbles in the coating and will therefor make it porous causing rust to return. Stir it instead.
Finally, someone who understands that to get a long lasting seal, your prep work [cleaning] must be first rate.
This has been an excellent video. It was so loosely put together that while it was one hundred percent effective, it was also fun and enjoyable. I loved it.

1. I lost it when you showed the man and the giant rooster. That was genius.
2. please consider making the font color gold in the opening title “Gold Guy”. To me that is your signature.
Love your videos.
I have a 1984 Honda 3 wheeler with a very rusted gas tank along with holes in it. This method was 110% worth it. You saved me a ton of money instead of fabricating it, possibly ruining it and spending quadruple the money!!!
Very much appreciated !!
I have done this exact procedure. Works amazing.
This video gave me ~*Special*~ vibes. Ready to seal my bikes tank now.
Killing me pushing that tank around on the concrete!
Thought the same, until he said he was re-painting.
I'm gonna do the same thing I'm scared
OH GAWD im 50 years old DONT Work that SPECIAL tank around on CONCRETE!
@@966Mako thats fine. If you really like to do bondo and sanding.
We use to do this when I worked at a shop a long time ago. It's the only way to prevent rust from plugging up the carb. Once they start rusting, it's done, gotta coat it or trash it.
Just found your video. Now restoring my 1980 Honda PX50. Thanks!
I own a 1996 yamaha rx100 and it's the exact problem but hey thanks for the additional knowledge I never thought it could be restored👍👍🔥
Gosh I love that little Special.
I have an old 70 yamaha HT1 90cc enduro I've been dinkin around restoring and when I took the speedo cable off I noticed it looks exactly like the flex shaft from my 2016 Chinese dremel tool! Exactly the same inner rotating piece!!
Haha the cut to the "special" clip kills me every time 😂😂
Yo how do I let it dry cap on or cap of do I rinse after if so what also have you ever done anything shorter than a 96 hr cure
Same
Awesome videos love to see someone fixing things like I do ( without a million dollar shop and tools)
Gonna give this a try on my R1 tank before I try and find a new one. Thanks.
Just an update. I tried it and it works. A bit messy and the fumes from the acid tore my lungs a new one. Have done a couple treatments and all but a couple spots have come off.
Love how the sound effects match the year of your bike!! :). In reality... really enjoyed and learned! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for the great video! I have a red 1983 rx50 that I need to do this to, your tips will help me a lot THANKS! I also need to rebuild the carb, that or buy a new one.
This guy fcks.... for sure 😎
Took forever to find a proper gas tank resto video
Thank you for making this video. Nice Job!! Very Helpful as most vintage bikes don't have tanks available on Ebay!!!!
Nice. I appreciate the help. Actually the first time I’ve heard of por15 sealer.
Cant wait for the next episode 🛵
lol i love when the scissors fell apart you turned them over and they said Harbor Freight lol most people give them shit but most of their stuff is decent for consumer use.
This video was great. It was funny and informative at the same time. Keep it up!
Thanks so much I've been trying to clean my yamaha xj600s but failed at getting a good clean 2 times I think this will get the job done 3 times the charm right
EXACTLY what I was looking for. Much appreciated man!! Can you get the tank sealer at a auto parts store? . Got a new sub!!
cleaned out my fuel tank with good ol vinegar and gasoline wash. Topped it off, went for a ride, everything was great. a week later, the bike won't idle. i look inside the gas tank and it is completely rusted, and the gasoline has turned a brown color. gonna follow this exact video, and clean out the carb
On Yer Bike sent me here.
thank you very much for sharing
Great work goldguy good content sure will apply ur knowledge to take on my gas tank love ur skills keep up the good content always and cant wait to see a vid of that tank painted
Great video!!
Came for knowledge left amused
Sweet vid. I need to do the same with my Yamaha R1 tank. The gas that came out looked more like thin chocolate sauce it was so bad.
Great tips! I've also used a cork I shaved down to fit in the petcock hole which is a little easier to take on and off
im thinking of doing cork too….does the muriatic acid eat through it? also ive seen guys do muratic acid for only 20 minutes and say you shouldn’t do it any longer but this guy did it for a whole day…which is right?
@@mellamodiego8458 the cork held up fine. I even used a synthetic cork which worked just as good. I only had surface rust so I did it about 20 minutes and diluted it, I suppose you could go up to an hour if you had to, otherwise your pushing you luck unless you diluted it with water
Thanks I need to do this to my ts185 gas tank and a pinto gas tank I have thanks man definitely hoing to do it now that I know it works
Great fix. Will try next fix.
Nice vid GG...a gallon of vinegar,600 bbs, shake every hour, 36hrs, rinse with water, acetone and leave in the sun does a nice job. Zero risk.
Heat gun can melt the glue that holds the tank together.
I leave the tank upside down that way if its thick its thick at the top...out of the petcock area and outta the fuel and in the suns heat
You don’t use a sealer at all then?
Good work Special 😎😎😎
thx buddy
Cant help but laugh everytime the " "special" clip pops up ahahaha good job
In the first minute I laughed 3 times. I love this
Awesome.. Thanx
this might be great because i have a tank with pin holes and a hairline crack. might seal it up.
First time seeing your videos. Subbed instantly based off the into 😂
Thank you, that was "special" 😅
i have a Bajaj pulsar 150 DTSi I will try this. thank you for your tips.
SPECIAL
tks
Just put my first coat on my 09 Yamaha FZ6R and it looks good so far. I’ll put 2 more on then let anyone know. It’s hard finding a video of someone doing it with a modern sport bike gas tank.
I have 1974 Kawasaki Z1. It has been in the carage for 3-4 years now, and I used Annitrol to get rid off the rust. Then "washed" the tank with gas. Then filled the tank and put in the gas preservative, because bike will be without using in the carage. So.... 10min from "gas washing" tank was looking so rusted again. Before that it was beautiful and without any rust anymore. I have been thinkig about buying the kit where come the cleaning and the sealing materials. This is so frustrating that my work for the bike is useless. I did that at autumn and maybe at spring or summer I will buy the kit.
Thank good info
Muriatic acid is no joke. I use it at work all the time; we use full PPE and always under a fume hood.
Yeah it is no joke. What kinda work do you do?
@@GoldGuyRides I'm a marine scientist. I work with microalgae and shellfish for NOAA. I use the muriatic acid for acid bathes haha nothing fancy.
Wow that's awesome man!
@@GoldGuyRides I think so! Thanks man!
Ever tried Tamco gast tank coat/sealer? What are gas tanks usually made of: steel? I plan to extend a Grom gas tank with sheet metal/welding so I'm researching. Thanks for the clip - exactly what I was looking for.
Nice work
Awesome video dude this helped me a lot
Thank you for these videos man
Hello,
Thank you for your help. I am not sure if I can use the sealer. I have a 1984 VF 1000f. The pepcock valve control is operation on the side of the tank, I heard am concerned there might have a tube inside the tank and I am not sure if I should take the risk. I was told .
Do you hand antho3
Ok thank
Did the sealer peel??? Or still good?
Super
Muratic acid wont cut thru varnished gas. You might get better results using a fast flash lacquer thinner and let it sit for a few days. Empty then fill the tank up with vinegar. Then rinse with thinner again. After that and you know that your tank is really dry you can treat cote. Also I have a long air nozzle that I put in the tank to see if any stubborn residue is hanging on in the corners.
Just forget about the fact in his intro he jumped in like a super commando
You should write in with a Sharpie “I’M” above the Special sticker. It would kill.
Great job
Where do you buy the Por15 tank coating? Walmart?
Very good video.
Where did you dispose of the chemicals and fuel
It won't flash rust when using the heat gun?
Here is a comment for the algorithm overlords.
Great video! 👍
Hi, I was abot to clean the rust from my gas tank. So just poured a little muric acid inside, and smoke started coming out. Is that normal or I am doing something wrong. I poured some water before. And one night back I sparayed some wd40. Please let me know if the smoke is ok,or something wro ng.
New sub! Bro is sealing the motorcycle fuel tank to get rid of rust the same thing as “flushing” the motorcycle fuel tank?
only thing after the baking soda rinse should be alcohol and drain that , let air dry for bit then the hair dryer or shop vac exhaust
ive seen people on youtube say you should not let muratic acid in the tank for no more than 20 minutes and you let it sit over night ….which is right?
5:12 I'm sorry but I laugh so much 😂
Specially
An acorn nut would've sealed off the petcock hole pretty easily
You stir the sealer so you don't get bubbles.
I'm following you and like your methods. Bravo. I'm doing this method today on my 75 ts250. I only wonder how do you know the sealant is going to work if there's still some rust in the tank?

I got 5 stitches in my thumb, drilling a metal plate like that without a clamp, or vise
I just watch your video about cleaning a gas tank and sealing it. After 3 years how is the tank sealer holding up? I am about to do my tank, acid and sealer and was wondering if the sealer has started flaking off and plugging up your carb or strainer.
Really heplful A big thank you ! 🤘
Hello from Nepal.
Hope to get back a hello as well.😬
Hello from America!
What is the process to recoat a tank that was coated years ago and needs new coating? There are some metal spots coming through the original tank coating
Awesome
awesome very helpfull thank you
Hello! I got a question.
How to unstuck the gas cap? Mine is that one kind that flip(?) to open.
Thanks for the video anyway...
Spray the whole gas cap mechanism with pb blaster! (A penatrating oil)
Paint friendly, like paint thinner. lol
What happens if you have some small puddles due to the sealer? And can you remove the puddles some how?
Why your muriatoc acid don't produce smoke like when I pour it in my toilet bowl it smoke like a burning twig
If you leave the acid in the tank for two days will it work better, or is that too long and could cause problems?
I have a small gas tank which holds about one and a half gallons. So do i put one gallon of muriatic acid and the rest water to the top?
Sir after applying the sealant it doesnt rust again....or again we want to clean this tank as mentioned in this video the same again....after some years... is this the same procedure apply to the car petrol tank also....
gasoline wont remove the fuel tank sealler?
Acid is used up as it removes rust and contaminates. Each time it is reused it becomes less acid and more dirty water. Reusing acid is not recommended. I would have removed those big dents in the tank before starting on the inside. But I hate bondo filler.
U can use apple cider vinegar or just white vinegar also,, right????? Instead of the acid??
I am going to give this a go. This acid is not available in the U.K., its called Hydrochloride acid here. Can you tell me what concentration of acid is in Muriatic?
Do you know if the sealer has some heat resistance? Will I be able to powder coated afterworlds? Thanks.
