I have recently acquired a 1998 Honda VFR 800 Fi. The good bit is that it only has 1700 miles on the clock (!) and is cosmetically mint, as you would expect. The bad bit is that it has been sitting in the corner of someones garage for 18 years, with fuel still in the tank.
The fuel has clearly turned to something horrible (I can't get the smell out of my garage!) and left the sticky black residue in the tank. I have managed to clean the fuel pump and sender units by soaking them in detergent. The tank however poses more of an issue. I can soak it in detergent (which I plan to do overnight) but don't think I will get it as clean as I would like.
Does anyone know of a company who can clean the inside of the tank? It won't need lining, and I don't want to damage the paintwork.
Any suggestions gratefully received!!
Cheers,
Dave.
