    Hi All. Am after a bit of advice about my Sprint Tank. Its been laid up for a while. Dug her out over xmas and have noticed some bubbling on various parts of the tank (see images).
    Just wondering what could be causing them. What remedies are required. is it a new tank jobby.

    Yeah, plastic tank. Can i get the tank rbubbed down and repainted or is it a new tank. Is there any urgency or can it wait. Sorry for all teh questions but never experienced this before.

    Following with interest. what causes the blisters in the first place? is just the fuel vaping off through the plastic??

    Agree with Sprinter here. I’ve got a spare tank for my Daytona and I’m going to seal it with Flowliner then get it repainted, when I eventually get round to it ;)

    There you go then, it’s obviously deformed over time from new. ;)
