1973 Suzuki GT550 Indy Three Cylinder Two Stroke Fuel Tank Restoration.
This bike has been sitting for about 10 years so it definitely has some problems. To start, the gas tank is rusted up like the titanic and it has subsequently leeched its problems into the carburetors which I cleaned in the last video. In this video, I took care of the rusty gas tank by first cleaning it using two different products, welded up the holes, JB Welded over the real welds, sealed the inside of the tank using KBS Fuel tank sealer and then gave it a fresh paint job. After all that was done I got the tank back on the bike with a new petcock, fuel line and filter. Now, the bike is ready to run (hopefully). Stay tuned for the next video to see me try and start this bike up!
Remember, you should only seal your gas tank if it leaks. If it doesn't leak after removing the rust then fill it back up with gas and move on.

I have a GT250 and a GT500 that both need petcocks. That one you have looks pretty new. Did you buy a new one? These videos are VERY encouraging!

I like this video because it shows the overall process beginning to end - my only critique is, this video is more than just a cleaning. That said, maybe section it out more clearly for viewers looking for something specific or break it down into multiple videos?

Nice job! What's that huge lump/bubble on the side of the tank, right when you're applying the second coat???

That was a slightly dented area I filled with Bondo and I guess I forgot to sand it all the way which really sucks, you can only see it at certain angles though.

Looks great, though I would recommend not painting the Suzuki emblem words black, usually the letters were silver/metal. Other than that, I'm hyped to see this thing come back to life!
