    I have a nice '02 tank for sale on ebay. Been properly prepped and coated with POR-15 tank coating ( the best product available in my opinion) One very slight area of metal imperfections. The pics and description say it all. My ebay name is     gsroadmaster

    I'm asking just $295 plus shipping.

    Thank you for the offer Steve but I happened to get my hands on a black 03 tank 2 weeks ago with help from Joe so I'm back up and running

    I also have used muriatic acid and then coated the tank.  The acid did not harm the paint on the outside of the tank.

    That's what I was trying to avoid but it seems near impossible to source a clean 01 tank so I'll probably do it to the black tank that I have that's also rusted and have it painted or just wait till I can find one used

    There are rust treatments for gas tanks, if it's not a matter of being totally damaged.

     

    I didnt think it was bad and it's probably easy to save, however I did try one product that was supposed to eat the rust and it's still flaking off plugging the fuel system. I'm hoping I can find something that's useable to get the bike tuned before NEXXT and I'll clean the original tank over winter and reinstall it come spring.

    Hmm, honestly that was not even on my radar given that the pump will not prime while in circuit. Lack of spark could prohibit the pump from priming? If thats possible, worth looking into, I suppose.

     

    On another note, do you still have your '01 BB? I ask because given the condition of the bike, I'd rather send my ECU to someone willing to hook it up to their bike as opposed to tearing too deep into a showroom condition Bird. 

    I'm also wondering about the spark. And not so much that it's not firing as much as I'm wondering that nothing is working. What ever controls the fire ie: spark and fuel, is what I am assuming isnt working since you still had no fire even with the pump hard wired. Had there been spark it would have started. Also that being said, I do have a 01 and I'm only about 2.5 hours away. Give or take depending on traffic
