1987 CBR600F1 Gas Tank Questions
The gas tank on my hurricane is rusted up pretty bad. After using diluted muriatic acid to remove the rust, several holes opened up. At least 9 i believe. I want to just buy a new tank and want to know, what tanks from other models will fit or will the Cbr1000 tank fit the 600?
I was able to solder pin holes from the outside. Spray with detergent water, presurise the tank with the exhaust from a vacuum clearner for example, and it will blow bubbles at the pin holes. Got to get rid of some paint around each hole. Soldering iron, a heavy one as its got to heat the metal where the pin hole is, flux core solder wire, make the solder run, not form a droplet, by applying heat and flux solder. If its a dirty surface, it won't run. Then maybe clean and epoxy seal the tank internals. Maybe carefully file the high spots of the solder off. I did that. But before I figured it out, but only after I bought a second hand tank and got the bike riding.
Just checked the date - oh well. Sorry for the late reply. :-)
