storing a fuel tank

[matchan]

Anyone got any tips?

I've wound up with 2 spares and I'd like to keep them in reasonable nick.

Cheers

Dry them out, keep them somewhere there is not a lot of temp change, put some silica gel packs inside the tank to absorb moisture (the plastic pakets you get inside electronic equipment when you buy it new from the store)

Shame that Matt, now you gotta get a new plasma

Cheers Rob but we already went on a "stimulate the economy" drive last year with a new LCD and fridge, just forgot to keep the silica packets!

I would buy a few cans of WD 40 blast the whole can in the tank & do that every 6 months to a year,
If you go to use the tank again just wash it out with solvent being carefull not to get any on the paint work

Give me a ZRX1200 tank and I'll give you a ZRX1100 one, and I'll look after it for you- might even repaint it.

Sorry Bonester, they are for my track bike, not the zrx.
