This is true, however, that's where they parked it after they brought me in so I asked if I could take a photo before they booked me to prove they really bought my car.Just because you were arrested by University Police Dept for exposing yourself to students does not mean they bought your car.
Well, as much as I might like to stuff a few extra unclaimed tax dollars under my mattress like someone else I know might, I'm actually overly legit and claim basically every penny of income and take fewer deductions than I am legally allowed to. There are several reason why I do this, but the biggest one is that I really don't want to loose one second of sleep worrying about whether the IRS is gonna come knockin on my door or not. I've seen the results of a few others that got caught and it was not pretty and not worth it.If you went legit and open up your car lot “Barn Finds”...... you could write off all your mileage, insurance, business lunch n donuts, pork n beans dinner for 1.... and all the turd polishing odds n ends you spend every year..

I thought it was stock ...........from yamaha??
Didn't they coat their tanks back then? I honestly don't know.
Edit.......now you have me thinking. If its not from the factory........why did it needed to be lined? That sounds like another can of worms!

Never heard of a factory liner, but maybe? More inclined to think you might be putting another liner in.

I tend to agree with you.
I've done Kreem, Por15 and Hirsch.....and I do not know how Kreem stays in business. I've never had a fail with 15 or Hirsch.
I've never used Caswell before.......this will be my first.

Caswell is very good so long as you get the mixing correct. That stuff gets hot, quite hot. I have a couple hot spot marks from it on my brand new garage counter top. I will be doing 4 tanks with Redcoat this Sunday, ,,,, just easier to use,,, for me.
I never heard of a "factory " liner either.
I really dought there was,,,, heck most bike, trike, auto industry never heard of anti seize back in the day + used grease zirks like they was the rarest items to be found.

I have never had any problems lining tanks with Kreem. I started using it on my tanks since 2008 and never had any of it peel off or fail. Last year I lined 2 tanks again.... there both perfect. I bought another kit to do 2 more tanks.
The other week I bought an atc70 with a red coat lining in the tank and it looked like crap inside. With the Kreem kit it includes hydrochloric acid that removes rust and etches the surface of the metal tank for better adhesion. It also includes a bottle of MEK to rinse out the tank before the liner is poured in.

How is Redcoat?
The only reason I choose to line with Caswell is because I don't think I can remove all the existing liner and from what I understand Caswell doesn't need that "surgical smooth" surface that 15, Hirsch, etc needs. Plus it's epoxy properties are ideal for this type of a seal.
I as well do not remember any liner being used from the factory back then. The reason I thought it may be factory is that there is no evidence that this tank ever required a lining. No evidence of pinholes or bubbling paint or any trace of fuel seepage or leaking or anything. It just lead me to think........why seal this tank then?
I'm sure the ethanol in today's modern fuels helped separate the lining........which modern linings are more resistant to

That almost looks like it could be reactivated with a solvent and see if more of that crusty stuff will flush out. Just from the picture that looks like what happens if someone used vinegar on the tank and then just never cleaned it out well and didn't use baking soda to neutralize the vinegarThe........gas tank liner removal blues!!
