Rebuilding a 2004 CBR1000RR - Pt2 | Fuel Tank rust removal

My neighbour bought this bike afew months ago, and I watched it slowly deteriorate in his driveway until it was a non-runner. I've made him an offer thinking it was just a simple starter clutch repair but it goes ALOT deeper than than...
Now I'm tackling the rusty fuel tank, tried the vinegar method and the HCL Acid method, took afew attempts before I correctly understood the process but that's the learning curve we have to follow.
It's really a journey rebuilding an old bike. This is part 2 , make sure to check out part 1 of the series as well...

Will the waste bicarb water not damage your grass? 😮
