Ofcourse it's mainly rust then. That's why I said to be sure the metal is still thick enough. I'm not too fond of the acid method. If the first one doesn't work then I'll try acid. But sofar I've only had one tank which wasn't clean after the first method and it took 3 rounds of profesional cleaning to get it the way it is now, and it's still not clean. > The acid method is not more harmful for the > environment, do you know what muratic acid is also used for? Of course not. Err, I study biology... :) > I would rather drive a motorcycle with a rusty tank > then a moped.

Old bings can take a lot befor they clog. New ones only need the idea of a possible rustparticle and clog already. ;) You're right about the filter, every moped should have one. > I'll be off the list for a few days, unfortunately I have to go to the east > coast where it is too damn cold to ride (so I am getting my ridding in today > if possible) If anybody want to e-mail me I'll be at ratvespa@ratbike.org Have fun, although not likely in the cold, but you never know.
