Have VN V8
been sitting for 14 yrs, no start, no go
Removed fuel tank, which needs work
Sender unit rusted up and stuffed, 5 bolt
Inside was covered in crap, managed to get the inside sparkling again with using Septone degreaser from supercheap and KBS Aqua Klean
The hoses inside tank, as well as low pressure pump need to be replaced, will upgrade the outside high pressure pump as well
Has some rust around top of the tank in front above sender
cleaned outside of tank with KBS Rust Blaster, then washed the outside down with water
Was going to repair the rusted holes in tank with aircraft fuel tank epoxy
Then tackle the inside of tank with Rust Blaster and then add the KBS Tank sealer
Then give tank a coat of paint
However before one gets too deep into it the repair, how can you check if the tank is 80 litres, apart from filling it up with water, and not to sure where the 100% fill line is.
assuming tank is same surface area and only difference in depth/height of tank ?
Just want to make sure its actually 80-85 litres to start with and not 65 litres
