So the tank on my MC16 is a bit rusted inside. Not sure if it can be fixed or how it can be fixed, but if not what other tank options are there?

from what I could find, an MC18 might work??? any other hondas?

here are some pics that I took with my camera phone of the inside

You can buy fuel tank sealant. It comes as a liquid rubber, which you pour into the tank, swirl about until the affected areas are covered, and then allow a day to set.

Where in the world are you?

the sealant option sounds good, but i'm sure i've heard of bead blasting tanks at low pressure to remove rust in classic bikes. Does anyone know if this is true?

thanks for the replies.

went to my local bike spares shop and they recon they can fix it for me, so no worries there.

I am from South Africa BTW

is that a mc16 tank?? dosent look like mine at all underneath and mine dosent have that pipe

you can braze the hole area if you clean it up and then paint over it more perminant than the sealant and easy to do.
