I left my Legend parked with a full tank of treated gas, but forgot to go back and drain it, so the inside is a mess. Anyone have one kicking around?

They don't come up very often in the UK and when they do get snapped up quick by guys doing Cafe Racer customs.
I used to have long hair, took acid and went to hip joints. Now I long for hair, take antacid and need a new hip joint

Can you not treat and reseal it? There are kits available and also I found a couple of places you can send your tank off too and they will do it for you. Looks to be cheaper than a new tank.

I am looking as you are not the only one to make that mistake  :icon_redface:

Clean it out with a couple days of soaking with citric acid, cheap and safe, can be poured away easily, I used it many times on fuel tanks and bike parts, works well.

Thanks, worth knowing, I will give it a try on mine when I get some timr.
