Well... after much frustration and almost losing my rag at my bikes problem I was forced to eat humble pie when I discovered the inside of my tank was a mess, and I mean a mess. When I drained it I got about 3 tablespoons worth of rust flakes not including the flakes in the petcock.... and the fuel tap.... and the carbs... etc etc

Well I bought a 3 stage fuel tank repair kit from POR15 and it has worked wonders. Although I have just done the last stage and I have a question about curing time.

It says 'touch dry in 4 to 6 hours and complete cure in approx 96 hours (4 days)'. Does this mean I wait 4 days till I put petrol in and use my bike again? I have spent a lot of time on it so I dont wanna screw it up.. but... I WANNA RIDE MY BIKE AGAIN! So if anyone knows when I can use it again please let me know.

Thanks
