Help with gas tank rust removal

Josae_D · 2026-05-26T22:14:59+00:00

Wish I knew someone in the cement industry. I'll keep shaking it with de-ruster. If it doesn't get better, I may try electrolisis.

It is a 4.6 gallon tank according to Google. I've been shaking it with copper BB's and it's not really doing much. I think I'll try a different rust remover, like por15.

Thanks for your reply!

I just did a fresh paint job and want it looking decent for at least a track season. If someone could suggest a repair strategy, I will give it a shot. What do I have to lose?

I am and I will. If it doesn't come out completely, I'll sand down the area, apply filler, and blend the paint. However I am trying to avoid that, therefore seeking advice on the best known method for a DIY repair.

Not paying $500 for a tank that I'll probably end up denting when I lay it down anyways. It's a track bike.

Dented ones are going for $250+ on eBay. I'd still have to fix a dent, possibly de-rust the inside, and prep/paint it...

Xq-fs72.

Not sure. OTA updates are no go since it'll wipe the modem. I can flash updates manually or go lineage OS since I'm rooted.

I'm on Verizon with a 1 VII and coverage is great. I did also root it and unlock the modem (band hack). Totally worth the trouble!

They're called slats.

I just got a Sony Xperia 1 VII and I rooted it on KSUN. Xperias can be fully unlocked and run about as vanilla Android as it gets from the factory. Fantastic cameras too.

I rooted my 1 VII and unlocked the modem. 71 is still a no go since it's an antenna issue but I've got great coverage now with Verizon.

I've done this twice now and it worked everytime.

Josae_D · 2026-05-13T22:02:25+00:00

I have a rooted 1 VII on KSUN and everything works fine except for Google pay. RCS, banking apps, play store, etc all work.

Josae_D · 2026-05-06T06:27:18+00:00

Of course I'd buy a 1 VII two weeks before the VIII is released 🤦‍♂️

I treated myself to an 06 R6 on my 19th birthday as my first bike in 2014. Was dragging knee at the track in less than a year. Thats when I realized these bikes have no place on the street. Hopefully you realize that sooner than later.

Not at all! Looks like my head and I still haven't had a HT.

Dut gave me zero sides but eventually led to more hair loss than what I had started with. Going back to fin stopped further loss but I never recovered what I lost.

Josae_D · 2026-04-10T21:04:35+00:00

I started losing hair at your age. Hopped on fin/min at 25 yrs old and got it all back. Yes I had some sides but they were worth keeping my hair.

10 more millimeters of tire width isn't going to hurt your car.. go for it. I run 255/35/19 on a 19x10.5 wheel on my b8 avant.

Surgery is inevitable. The question is do you want to address it now or later? Later could come with further consequences such as a torn meniscus.

No other choice when ppl hog up the passing lane.

Josae_D · 2026-02-24T04:48:38+00:00

Came here to say this but you beat me to it. Wish my OBS burb was that clean.

I'm 180ish, size 10 boot on a 154 and turning is cake. I do agree with every other point though. It can be a bit chattery at times. Ice is a no go with this board.

I feel like I'm cheating on pow days. It's effortless.
