Petrol tank.. Aluminum? Steel? Ehh?
« on: January 16, 2006, 11:38:53 PM »
Forgive the question but my bike manual doesn't say anywhere what the material of my gas tank is. if it's aluminum then I'll just sand her and wax her but I doubt that is the case because there's a really mini chip where there's rust and it doesn't look like the way aluminum oxidises. If it's steel she's gettin' a few coats of ferrari red and about 6 inches of clearcoat.. Hehe.. I mean.. 6 coats.... : P

Thanks!

Wouldn't that make all of our lives so much easier if they were made of aluminum.   :'(

Okay. That's what I thought. It wouldn't have made sense if it were aluminum. Good to get noob questions out of the way. : P
