Catch me if you can
Did you dump the fuel out of the tank to find that it's red or are you just looking into the fuel-filled tank?

I have found the the ethanol fuels today eat redkote, 3 different tanks so far for me, and did cause some carb trouble. I did not coat them, I had two done by a local rad shop and one I bought that way.

Same thing happened with my SX tank I had redcoated. The tank was holding fuel, so I'm not sure how much of the coating was disolved by the fuel. The picture below is from when I drained the tank in preparation to do the body work on the outside. It sat all winter empty with no fuel cap on. Just a few weeks ago, I mounted the tank back up and filled it. Seems to be holding fuel just fine. I haven't looked again to see if the fuel is red again. I'll check tomorrow and see.

Look close at the wheel to see that there is no hub or lug nuts. It is a loose wheel.

Doh, you revealed my secret build!! That is funny, I didn't even realize how that picture looked. Justenough is correct, it was just a spare wheel sitting on the floor...
