Whats this thick white crap in my tank, also what got ground off?

Whatever this is it makes the cap difficult to open, it looks house paint in the tank.



anyone have this problem or recognize what it is?

Also what was there and got ground off? Just a bolt for a slider or something?

Ha, no! It's more of a sealant feel to it.

Wow. Never seen anything like that. Looking forward to finding out what it is. Your bike runs ok?

Runs perfect. I don't know if the previous owner might of put it in to protect the tank from rust? Gasoline doesn't seem to phase it.

looks like a tank sealer to me and looks like your frame slider bolt in that ground off spot if the bike was wrecked before and they repaired the tank with a stud gun you have to seal the tank or it will start rusting

That's what i figured. The bike was down on the left side a little bit. left fairing had to be replaced.

knock on the left side of the tank you will probably hear the tone change if that happens then thats probably why that sealer is in the but you are supposed to take out that cap and tape it off

Looks like tank sealer to me - although they should have removed the tank hardware before putting it in. Not sure what the ground off thing is on the frame though.

I usually put saran wrap around the fuel cap and then close the cap for sealant. You're lucky the sealant didn't get up into the latching mechanism of the fuel cap.

The ground off area is where the plastics mount to the frame

I wouldn't run anymore of that tank sealer through my fuel filter or injectors!
