Hi All-
After finishing the rebuild of my ‘74 MKII 850, I am currently saving cash for a rebuild of my recently purchased MKIII. I have also purchased an Interstate tank, which is in pretty good condition. Close inspection reveals some light rust appearing on both lower edges near the petcock, and also on the very top.
As it will likely be another year or more before I will be in position to begin the full rebuild, I would like to do what I can to keep any additional rust in check. The tank is in primer as it will be painted in the coming months.
Any suggestions for prevent maintenance? I thought perhaps a light coat of thin oil to swish around the inside of the tank would be helpful. But wondering if there is a more efficient method.
Thanks for any thoughts!
Tom
