wrench season! Cannon Ball 2010

After I once created a little space in the garage, The Shovel and the Sportster mounted elsewhere and the weather was anything but looks promising, can now start the season screwdriver.

The Super X was modified slightly incontinent. The presumption was the right tank half. So fuel drained down dashboard and removed the right half of the tank. This requires only the 3 screws under the tank to be screwed out. Ok, the fuel line must of course be solved. Well - results! Left half tank dry - right inside of bubbles in the paint.

My first guess was that the used "Plugs" were leaking. Since the tank is yes to cast aluminum tank, I guess that the "plug" must necessarily be placed in the casting process.

interesting that it is in the tank! Only 3 and 4 of these left stopper. And people even at different locations. And somehow, does it look as if the are placed inside. The right half of the tank was probably originally hung at times' Ner Henderson KJ what can be easily read from the mark "KJ 5225.

Well, of the overnight test showed that the plugs are tight, but the external thread is at the front is leaking. This also explains why the tank was ever inside coated with white-Kreem stuff. So ancient mush out with acetone and carefully re-coat. And then hope that it is tight.

It is nice however to see that is visible under the paint bubbles no rust. As with aluminum ... ;-))
