    I am surprised that you did not get performance issues with a tank like that. Perhaps because it is injected and not gravity fed? POR 15 is magic stuff, I can really recommend it. Make sure you wrap the tank well with plastic though, that stuff sticks like shit to a wet blanket DAMHIK

    If it was gravity fed carbs it would have been cutting out after a few miles, I had noticed the odd spit and more recently it had been cutting out at " interesting' moments.
    But intermittent problems are hard to track down and I usually leave them to become more apparent.

    My suggestion here is that its worth having a peek into the tank to see whats there.
    I have used POR 15 before on my Kombi tank and your right its good stuff but masking is needed and its hard to remove from fuel lines unless you set it up to drain correctly.

    Hmmmm...raining.....was going to go to the tip with the green waste....get some mulch ( or summit) and have a hoe down in the garden...

    There's nothing quite as funny as a bloke laughing...when he hasn't got a fucking clue what the joke really meant.
    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

    ? Ok, the flake (crumbling foreskin) makes sense but how do the cones come in to play?

    The look on your face must have been priceless



    Not sure what all the angst is about, what else can you do but laugh in a situation like that?

    Evaporative emissions are a big source of HC,and for some decades cars have had their tanks vented through a charcoal canister....and require positive pressure for that.Motorcycles are emission dirty for their size - coming to a motorcycle near you soon,a fuel tank vented through a charcoal canister.

    Actually - I believe his missus (who is a KB member) is actually a nice person. She could do so much better - shes a nice lady and deserves a Tip Top bloke, not some soft serve.
