Motorcycle Fuel Tank Sealer Install HOW - TO - CX500 Build - EP57

[@davedeck162]

dude, i'm watching this Jan 19, 2022 from upstate NY where we're in full-on winter. the throaty rumble of that beast ripping up and down the parking lot was exactly what i needed to get me through the snow season... outstanding sound!

[@BrickHouseBuilds]

Well I'm glad its making it feel a bit less winter like!

[@kirkhenry4969]

Wow. I'm new to this whole bike building thing. Never knew this existed

[@BrickHouseBuilds]

Oh yea, even for automotive sized tanks as well!

[@pmg8504]

There's nothing more satisfying than fixing a defective item the good old fashion way. I personally would have used a lump hammer!🤣

[@BrickHouseBuilds]

Sometimes the hammer is the correct tool for the job lol

[@nathanielkswas]

I dig the new intro 😍

[@BrickHouseBuilds]

THANK YOU! My friend made it as I tried and couldn't do what he could!

[@thepracticalman5905]

Awesome stuff...

[@itauquijo5019]

Yeaah!! Go to work!!

[@BrickHouseBuilds]

Working hard 💪💪

[@lazarus2950]

Word of warning to future watchers, maybe remove the petcock screen filter (not talking about the petcock itself). Mine got gunked up by KBS when I did my tank because I forgot to remove it. It's a salvageable situation and you can remove it post tank seal but would be way easier before. Peace

[@tylerbishop6500]

I was hoping you would smash it! Hahaha! Good to know I’m not the only not functioning how it should tool smasher.

[@BrickHouseBuilds]

Not gonna lie, it felt good lol

[@rey-ke5ls]

Hi, for dry completly the tank you can use etilic alcool ...it ties the water and fly away most easily .

[@BG-tn9rs]

I'm enjoying you videos. As a suggestion, you might want to try one of those borescope cameras available on Amazon or eBay. They are very inexpensive and might work well in this application.

[@BrickHouseBuilds]

Yea I definitely need to invest in a borescope camera. I'd use it often but I'm just always buying random stuff I keep forgetting. Good reminder though!

[@righthoekstra]

Great job like always.. rip flashlight though What is the stop that fits on the fuel outlet?

[@BrickHouseBuilds]

😅😅 again, not proud of myself but I kept mentioning the flashlights so I kept it in there. The plug cap was just a brass unit you can find at an auto parts store. This one is 16mm

[@notyourbrotherinlaw2092]

thanks for the info - what do you do for the underside of the top of the tank? appreciate the help.

[@BrickHouseBuilds]

You just roll the tank around so it covers that as well

[@Badenhawk]

I also have the deluxe tank that is in decent condition except for some pinholes. Do you have any exp with POR 15 tank sealer? That's what I was looking at getting....after my welder friend finishes with more pinholes that popped up for a second time.

[@BrickHouseBuilds]

That I do. I believe I'll be using that from now on as this sealer did not adhere likely due to that skipped step

[@Manandmachine772]

Good informative video, I have used the Kreem kit and the Yamaha prep kit w/o a liner and have had pretty good luck with them. But I think I will have to try this kit on my next tank. I like the liner viscosity better on this KBS kit. BJ I do have a silly question about your shop heater it is electric I believe is it 120v or 220v and any idea how many watts or btu’s it might have. And how does it do heating with our mid west winters.

[@BrickHouseBuilds]

My heater came from Northern Tool. 220v and works well. It keeps my shop toasty but I did have to insulate the place really well. Just did the garage door finally. m.northerntool.com/shop/tools/product_200578579_200578579?cm_mmc=Google-LIA&Google_LIA&Heaters%20%26%20Stoves%20%2B%20Fireplaces%20%3E%20Electric%20Heaters&ProFusion%20Heat&gclid=CjwKCAiAgc-ABhA7EiwAjev-j4fFjyVa70lQjqXX06qlDBMaAxC68rvyJNgfWR2UMRWHfrM5fwVcNhoC1SIQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

[@Manandmachine772]

Very good thank you, I believe I will have a couple of those in my shop next winter.

[@robertadams4415]

Just wondering could you use a bore scope

[@BrickHouseBuilds]

I didn't have a bore scope at this time

[@glovester]

tape peeling ASMR @ 16:20 lol

[@BrickHouseBuilds]

For real!

[@drakepatterson2520]

I would recommend coast or streamlight flash lights. I use streamlights USB penlight daily and my girlfriend uses coast flashlight and spot light Daily both us being mechanics

[@BrickHouseBuilds]

After this I picked up a couple more pen lights that seem to be lasting well actually but thanks for the recommendation

[@Inkesomnia]

So my bike as been sitting for two year and it gather so much rust. I use vinegar and let it sit for 24 hour and clean it out. It gotten pretty clean but now my old tank sealer is flaking off. I hope the klean will take the rest off

[@BrickHouseBuilds]

You will need to get more aggressive than the Klean. Acetone and some screws or something would be where I start but you need to figure out what the old liner is and read up on what may work best to remove it.

[@Inkesomnia]

@@BrickHouseBuilds oh yea. I’ve been looking in it and decided I will rip a piece of the old sealer off . And put it in acetone and if if it dissolve, I’ll drop some in there and do that screw trick. And I also have a kbs stripper from them too. Thanks man.

[@Dakalberry]

The instructions say not to use compressed air

[@BrickHouseBuilds]

Correct. Some compressors can expel a lot of moisture which is obviously not desirable

[@eduardoperez7797]

Lmao ones I saw the first frustration level appear I knew it was coming done it myself 😂

[@BrickHouseBuilds]

Fun fact I have not destroyed any flashlights since this moment lol 😅

[@eduardoperez7797]

[@cainbeeping8480]
