[Tigers] Tigers - coating fuel tanks

[CoolVT at aol.com]

I believe the original purpose of coating the tanks was to prevent  rust.  
If so, with no coating you might not get flaking, but could  eventually get 
rust.  Years ago the only motorcycle manufacturers to coat  the tanks were 
BMW and Harley. Store one of those two for a few yrs. and no  problems.  
Store a Honda for the same time period and it was almost  guaranteed that you 
would need a carb cleaning and rebuild.
So, I think I would coat both.

I believe it is good policy to use gas tank  sealer.  These days you
need an alcohol resistant gas tank sealer  product.  I believe Eastwood and
others have such a  product.

I'm about to have one of my petrol thanks sent out to remove  the old,
flaking inside coating (the other is NOS(new-never installed and  uncoated),
and want to know peoples opinions whether to have them coated  this time
again, or just leave both uncoated.
