Removing Liner From Motorcycle Gas Tank

Here we will show you our process of removing a failed gas tank liner from a motorcycle gas tank. We will go over the process so you have a better understanding of what's involved before making a purchase as well as answering any questions or concerns you may have. Let's begin.

First, before unpacking the gas tank. We begin by inspecting the shipping box. Checking for any obvious signs of shipping damage that may have occurred. We will take pictures of the box as it was received before opening it. 

Next, we will unpack the gas tank. Thoroughly look over the gas tank and inspect its condition. Again checking for any damage that may have occurred during shipping. We will notify the customer that we have received the gas tank and the condition we received it in. If any shipping damage has occurred. We can assist the customer with pictures to help file their claim with the shipping carrier. 

Next, we are going to take pictures of the gas tank before any work is performed. Once pictures are taken. We will disassemble and remove any fittings, plugs, petcock valve and or fuel cap.  

The gas tank will be placed in our stripping tank for 1 hour. This will release the liner from the gas tank allowing us to easily rinse it out afterwards. At the same time. This process will remove any paint and or body filler from the exterior. Do not select this service if you do not want your paint job on the exterior removed. 

 

After 1 hour in the stripping tank. The gas tank will be removed. Rinsed off with water. Inspect the inside making sure the liner has been completely removed. Gas tank is blown dry and ready to begin another service.
