There’s a Suzuki DL650 that haven’t been started in six years. I’m slowly working to get it running again, and cleaning rust deposits out of the tank is the current goal. My hand is too big to fit in the hole so I made a thing.

      No metal + oxygen = rust and sometimes that reaction is encouraged by a catalyst that remains in contact with both. You think they’re going to go to all that trouble and not going to rinse and dry the tank when they’re done?

      You’d have to discuss that with the guy I replied to. I’m just cleaning glass hummingbird feeders over here. I’m pretty sure you wouldn’t want to be pouring any gunk you washed out of your tank down the kitchen sink, either, no matter what you used to clean it.
