Swollen tank solutions?

Zimbo · 14-04-2017, 06:09 AM

Out of interest, what's the recommended "budget" solution these days for a slightly swollen S2R tank? Mine is a little swollen (starting to foul the ignition barrel and has deaminated the paint from the underside) but the frame rail rubbers still fit.
Is there a metal tank that's a straight fit (620?), do I dry the existing tank out and seal it (how long does it take to dry, how do I dry it, and what can I do to accelerate the drying process?) What do I use to seal it?
or is there another solution?
