    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Gas Tank Rust?

8) I have ben working on refinishing my gas tank, with cleaning and freezing water in it to get dents out, I have gotten a layer of rust inside. How do I get it out :wink: :?: 8O
 
How bad is the rust mate? If it's only surface rust then I wouldn't acid-wash it, as you might do more damage than good. A handful of 10mm nuts or 6mm screws shaken around inside should loosen up any rust, then just flush the dust out. My cousin always did this to trail bikes in his shop, then he'd put a little two stroke oil in the tank then just fill it with regular gas and it wouldn't rust again.

Did the freezing to get the dents out work? I've tried compressed air, but after nearly fragging myself doing that, I wouldn't recommend it to anyone................

I used a product from Krud Kutter called" a must for rust" I bought it from Home Depot. $7.00 for 32 ounces. It works great.
 
Terry,

8) I have done it twice, it does work. I put in about 3/4 of a tank, and it took them almost completely out. The only problem is you need a serious freezer or a lot of time. I had to leave it in the last time almost a day and a half, and that was in a stand up freezer. Just watch out when it starts hardening up. 8O
 
Sounds like a good way to split the seams.

I tried the freezer once and didn't have the time to wait for it to freeze. I have heard about guys doing it and developing leaks after.
