Tank Liner Removal

Today I started with the tank liner removal and preperation for the new liner to go in.

I used an offcut of a wheel tube and a small offcut of aluminium plate to blank off the fuel tap hole.

Then the Caswell liner removal solution went in to disolve the old liner, I guess the solution is MEK or cellulose, it seems to have done the job. Before emptying the chemical out I threw in 20 wood screws to loosen up any stubborn debris, after a good shake a small pinhole appeared and was literally covered with paint so a little bit more of soldering to be done. 

Before that happens Ill rinse out the tank with soapy water to expell the chemical vapours. Thats for tomorrow though.
