Raw steel stock style gas tanks are great for crash repairs. Carefully check the tank for fitment on the motorcycle and test-fit fuel line, fuel pump, gas cap and dash cover before painting. Do not grind or sand the seams or joints. It is also suggested to pressure test and use a tank cleaner, tank conditioner and tank sealer to help stop leaks and prevent corrosion.

GAS TANKS The zinc-chromate primer finish on some of our tanks is provided for the protection of the tanks during shipment and storage. It is not recommended as a primer finish for paint applications without proper surface preparation. As with any fuel tank, particularly one where custom paint is to be applied, all tanks must be pressure tested, then cleaned with tank cleaner and sealed with tank sealer before painting, to protect the final finish and prevent internal rust during winter storage. Fuel capacity is measured with tank in upright position, angle of parked bike will determine actual capacity of the fuel tank.
