    kreem in your pants!

    im not sure about it keeping it from turning yellow, but its a 3 part system that you get from any motorycle dealership. its just a coating that you shake around in the tank to stop the tank from leaking. so it might just work. its also white in color

    kreem is a 3 part system but the first two parts would not applly to a new plastic tank. the first part etches the metal, the second part rinses out the residu from the first part the third part is the actuall cream. the first part would eat the plastic. i definatly would not recomend it on a used plastic tank and personally would not use it on any plastic tank. i don't beleive it would adhere properlly to the plastic and would eventually flake off.

    I guess it would be less of a hassle to just pay the extra $250 bucks for a factory $420 dollar metal tank. :?

    The tank isn't going to turn yellow over night. I had a clear tank on one of my old sleds and it's had gas in it for over a year and it was only slighly yellow. The main cause of lighter colored plastic tanks turning colors is uv damage from the sun, if you don't store your trike out doors you should be fine. Using octane boosters also turns tanks colors faster.

    read your same post at org

    I know from experience it will not flake off, and it will adhere to plastic for a long time.

    3 years and counting so far.

    My tank is black, and no matter what color it was, it would not change. Kreem fills all those little holes that lets the tank breathe.

    So with the tank not being able to breath, stickers can go it without bubbling? How much does kreems cost?
