Don't listen to anyone who recommends things like white vinegar.

The trick is proper treatment of the tank afterwards and it will never rust again. I personally just pour an extremely liberal amount of marvel mystery oil in the tank after, swish it around, then dump it out.

For me I prefer evaporust. Don't buy it by the gallon if you go this route. If you look up your fuel tank size online you'll get some bogus numbers that say your bike holds "4.2" gallons or something. Your tank will accommodate an entire (or almost entire) 5 gallon bucket of evaporust. I buy mine from Amazon.

Buy a $5 battery operated pump from Harbor freight to transfer the evaporust from the bucket to the tank.

You will need

  • evaporust
  • water hose with GOOD pressure
  • acetone
  • marvel mystery oil or some fogging oil. I just use marvel
  • Hairdryer

    The basic steps would be:

  • Empty tank
  • Fill COMPLETELY with evaporust. Keep topping off if the level goes down slowly
  • Let sit for 24-72h. Longer is better

    It is VERY critical that you perform the next steps as quickly as possible. This is where flash rust becomes a potential issue. If you do get flash rush you just need to start the process over.

  • Empty tank back into bucket
  • Rinse thoroughly with water hose
  • Dry with hair dryer
  • Splash liberal amount of acetone in (this will help dry up the residual water)
  • Dry with hair dryer
  • Once dry or almost 100% dry pour a shit ton of marvel mystery oil in and swish it around to all surfaces
  • Drain excess oil

    When you're ready to fill the tank make sure it has no pinhole leaks. If it does bring it to a radiator shop to weld them up and you're done.

    You do NOT need a tank liner, but I can vouch for Red Kote. People who claim tank liners "clog carbs" or "peel" just applied them incorrectly. I did my first bike with Red Kote and it ran like a top in weather ranging from -20f to 90f++ and never had any carburetor issues. The liner never peeled/flaked/etc. The other bikes I just did the evaporust/marvel route and never had one rust again. Some of them were caked with rust sludge on the inside.
