GPz900 leaking gas

Probably need to turn the tank upside down(empty) and shake them out.

Oh and also there's a huge glob of Kreem tank liner that failed to stick. It's like a huge rubber ball.

A Kreem application will work, but following the procedure is important if it's to bond to the inner tank. If a step is omitted or rushed, then it's best to remove it.

Filling the tank with Methelethylketone(MEK) Is one way of removing the Kreem liner, but it has a high hazard of removing your paint too, if spilled on the outside. It's also nasty to inhale and needs a lot of air movement to avoid the vapors. Combustion is also a danger, and any source of ignition is to be avoided.

I'd search the internet if possible for another way of removing the failed Kreem.

Nah, paint's not a concern haha. How does it work? Does it completely dissolve the Kreem? That's what I would want to happen.

The MEK comes in the kreem kit as a moisture absorber after the tank is drained. Hot water with the supplied tank chemical would etch the tank metal so the kreem would stick(adhere). Then the water/chemical was drained. And the MEK added until the water was absorbed.

After letting it dry throughly, the Kreem was added and then the tank was turned so all areas were coated(upside down, & sideways) with the excess Kreem drained from the tank. MEK is the solvent used to make the white liner a fluid.

It had to sit outside as the MEK fumes from the white liner had to be avoided as they are nasty!!

You'll need to buy/make plugs for the petcock(fuel tank valve) to keep the MEK in the tank for it to dissolve the Kreem. Another problem is what to do with the residue?
