Hi, just looking for a bit of advice, I am restring a 86 TZR,frame, engine etc pretty much done and almost ready to start cosmetics but have just noticed a small fuel weep from somewhere in the bottom of tank, I suspect rust issues inside. Any suggestions, use a sealer inside or is there other options aside from trying to find another tank as finding parts has been a challenge.
Cheers

POR 15, one of my bikes has had a POR 15 tank liner since 2002 and still works.

if you're restoring it get it panel repaired, that other shit is only a stop gap measure

Agreed, if it is a steel tank, solder a decent copper plate patch over it yourself, its a piece of piss..
