A friend of mine has a Blackbird and has a rusty tank (inside, not outside) I've heard of ways to fix this, but wondering if anyone here has any experience with this at all? I'd appreciate any help or point me in the right direction. He wants to get it up and running by Summer, so anything would help.

Thanks in advance guys! :beerchug:
 
Depending on how bad it was rusted. If it is just light rust from sitting over the winter or if this is a heavy rust. If it is a light rust I would just flush the tank. If it is severe I would just replace the tank. Also note that if the tank has anything more then a light rust it would be a good idea to pull the carbs and go through them. I have seen carbs severely corrode and not function properly because of water.
 
I'm sure many have had poor experiences with Ebay...well from my experience, you get what you pay for.

Looks like same fitment from 97-03. That's convenient too.

I see them listed from $89- $399.
