![]() Muriatic acid will not eat through the tape, I can confirm it personally. Just rotate the tank occasionally and make sure you get all the sides and the top. You do not need to fill it all the way up. Here's what I just found by googling "how to neutralize muriatic acid": The wd-40 will mix fine into the gas when you do fill it and you won't have any issues when it burns.īaking soda is perfectly fine to neutralize with, it's what I saw recommended on countless forms online for specifically using muriatic acid. They make those ez-reach cans with the metal hose on it and you can just stick it through the top and spin it around inside. Either fill immediately with fuel or fog with WD-40. I'm not sure if the acidity also causes flash rust, but I do know if you don't do something after flushing with the water/baking soda then you will be in for some rust. The purpose of the baking soda and distilled water is to neutralize the acidity that you don't want in your fuel, rubber lines, injectors/carbs and engine.

Treat your gas with a bit of mystery oil at every fillup.Įver since the sv650 tank I've derusted multiple tanks without coating - just evaporust - and they have not re-rusted thanks to the marvel mystery oil. The bike also ran perfectly for a long time and I could start it in below 0 temperatures. I used redkote in my first tank (SV650) and it turned out amazingly so if you're sold on the coating go for it, but be careful because it will eat your paint.
