How to install a fuel tank liner/sealer in a motorcycle tank! For this I am using an epoxy kit from Caswell Plating to help seal some holes in my rusty CX500 fuel tank. In this video I discuss some sealer differences, tools needed, how to prep your tank, and how to install a liner.

Great video, very clear instructions 👍 Just a note from personal experience, if you have a tank with a badly rusted interior and you want to use a medium to shake around inside I find it better to use steel screws, nuts or steel shot, gravel can be a bitch to get out of some tanks but if you use steel you can get awkward bits out with a magnet.

Word of advise from a guy who's done the wrong thing and ruined the paint job on my tank. I bought a kit that include acid as the first clean up step. I made the HUGE mistake of not blocking of all the holes PROPERLY and acid made its way out and run all over my tank. It was a case of operation a success (the lining worked) but the patient is dead (ruined the paint job in a big way. Lesson learned here: I should have taken much more time to find a method of sealing all holes AND testing it with water before pouring in the acid. We live and learn.

Another great video BJ. I remember my father back in the late 1960s fixing a leak in an old BSA 350 petrol tank with solder. Also , lead was used to repair dings in car bodywork which was then filed to remove excess build up and repainted with the appropriate colour of enamel paint. Obviously, this was before body filler and tank sealers came out.

Certified Triumph MC tech here, worked at a Motorad and Triumph dealer. Ever see a tank after it's been treated this way? They work OK at first, then later, not so much. They get nasty after American MTBE Fuel disintegrates that liquid liner. Clean it out, braze or silver solder it, repaint it and NEVER use a Liquid Liner.

@BrickHouseBuilds Wrong, what you have seen is poor prep work like you stated in the video. The Kreem liner system works extremely well when used properly! As I stated it is still in use on my own bikes (plural) because I have used it on all of my own bikes that I keep as well as customer units. If you don't follow the instructions strictly, even the Caswell stuff doesn't work! I don't recommend the Kreem on tanks that have external holes like your Honda tank, due to the acid wash first step of the Kreem process.

Ive used caswell many times for rust and or holes just like you had in that tank. Ive also used it on late 2000s era plastic tanks. The ethanol would make them expand once you took the tank off to the point where some of them would not fit anymore. The fix was a new tank coated with caswell epoxy

Great video, I'm doing this to my '66 Norton N15CS and I always like to learn new tips. I did the POR-15 on a '73 CB750, worked fine. I agree it's the last resort. I have a seam leak on a tank that was beautifully painted in '94 and put on a shelf. I watched your electrolysis rust removal method, and did the Norton tank that way. It's a thick gauge tank and I was surprised that it leaked at the back seam - only after riding it a few times after a complete restoration and subjecting it to the Norton vibes. I use a kitchen trash bag, cut the opening around the filler opening, then mask it around so it hugs the tank. It's stretchy so it works pretty well by cutting a smaller hole and pushing it over the top. I have corrected many rusted tanks and it's a tedious job. Here's my Norton's first start since 1970 when it went into deep slumber - bought in a few boxes a couple years ago. kzbin.info/www/bejne/i57Up5Sbhdh3hMk

That's way thicker than POR-15. I've done a couple POR-15 liners. I wish I could do them both again because I screwed up a little each time. Nothing catastrophic. On one I had my tank sitting at a slight angle when it dried, with the back slightly up, so some of the liner pooled in the front bottom part of of the tank. (I thought I had gotten the excess out, but there's always a little more in there that'll drip down and settle. If the tank is sitting on a flat level surface, it'll spread out on the bottom and won't be noticeable. Mine wasn't sitting on a flat level surface when I left it overnight to dry. If you have a tank with internal petcock threads, like an old Triumph tank, make sure you get those threads covered with something.

The liner in my plastic fuel tank cracked and split in one spot up near the filler neck. Easy access for a spot repair. I need a strong epoxy adhesive that will bond to the existing cured epoxy. I'm goung to rough up the area around the split and clean it with acetone. Then inject epoxy into the split to fill it first. Then brush on two coats over the area. Spot/patch repair. I can't figure out which epoxy I should use. Any advice? Dissolving all of the existing liner and starting over from scratch would be damn near impossible on this tank I have. The spot repair is my only option. There are no other cracks. It's not failing anywhere else.

Please tell why the por15 that you used on this cx500 tank didn't work out. Is it because the por15 is flexible and thin, so not ideal for tanks with seam leaks. Also how did you remove the old tank liner.

In this video I used Caswell. On a previous CX500 tank I used POR15 and a combination of my improper prep and the overall consistency of the kit meant I didn't have proper adhesion on the fuel cap area. My last issue was a faulty fuel cap that didn't vent as advertised creating a pressure inside that forced fuel vapor through weld seams where the liner had peeled off ruining the paint. for removal often you will use acetone and something like screws to slowly dissolve and dislodge it.

I used a glove and a rubber band on mine lol. Just put the palm of the glove over the hole and around the sides then wrapped the pipe part in a rubber band to hold it on there. Worked well with stuff I had lying around.

No you need to attempt to strip the old sealant. Go to caswells website and get in touch with them for the best path going forward. They offer a chemical that may help.

Since the tank cap has tiny holes for vents in it as well as springs for the latch it's not wise to use it.
