Hi
I have a fuel tank on my 350cc 1951 AJS that is very rusty, I don't think there are any pin holes in it, so was going to clean with vinegar and just use red lead paint (if I can find any) to coat the inside. What is the perceived wisdom for this please

Re: Red lead paint
Use something like Fertan Rust Converter. I've used this and it was easy and very effective.

Re: Red lead paint
Did the tank rust again when petrol was added after a while mate

Petrol will dissolve the paint.
