Why do you ask?
If you search, you'll read all about my travails with my tank, but the eventual outcome was a happy ending.
I may not be big, but I'm slow.

The paint blistered badly Iv rubbed it down going to get it resprayed. But mainly I am going to clean and seal the tank, just
trying to find the best stuff to use. :icon_study:

The Caswell kit is working well in my tank. No issues since sealing it. If you let it sit empty for a few months, it make shrink back to original dimensions. Mine did. All on a theead here somewhere.

I notice that the Ascerbis tank for the XR650 does that over the winter when sitting empty.
