flushing tank

yeah, when i drained my tank to the minimum left you can hear so much silt, its like hearing sand in a bottle. whatsthe easiest way to flush a tank? and yes its off the bike and the cap is unscrewed and off, so its just the tank left.

i just washed out my tank about a week ago or so.
all i did was pour some metho in to get the water out and threw the tank around a bit and then drained it. just take the fuel tap off and shake everything out. mite take a few times to get all the particles out.
bought myself a 1 litre bottle and then had to buy a 4 litre bottle.
i had a lot of rust in it and now its all gone. well the little particles are gone.
dont forget to let it dry after your done

yeah, oh yeah the fuel tap, i can take that off. cheers.


did you say you washed it out with a hose and then metho? cool

haha, no no
u dont want water in your tank.
the metho dries out the water that u may have it in. and it also helps by moving around your particles and therefore u can just shake it around to get it out.

heh oh well, i used water, pressure blasted a bunch of crap out after removing the fuel tap, then ran some petrol around in it, now its hanging out in the sun for a day or two.

pulled apart and cleaned the fuel tap and the filters.

just waiting to get the tank dry.
