[Closed] Restoring a motorcycle tank

Yamaha do a kit for boat tanks that is supposed to work

We used to take all the fittings off & put some sand & water in, seal it up & shake the bejeezus out of it for as long as you can

I have used the POR tank repair kit on the inside of an old steel tank with success. I had several pinholes that the sealer covered well. The more time and effort you invest the better the results.
