I have a beautiful low mileage 93 PD. Since moving to California the tank is starting to get fine spiderweb cracks in the paint on top of the tank. I think the ethanol is causing the tank to expand. Has anyone used Caswell sealer in a PD tank? and is it compatible with the plastic? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
It says it does on the website http://www.caswellplating.com/aids/epoxygas.htm There are a couple of companies listed who provide a service it may be worth contacting them.
I've been thinking about an R100GSPD, but I've been looking for any anecdotal data on ethanol damage to PD tanks, this is the only one I've come across. This is the reason I chose my 2003 Ducati Monster, last year for steel tanks. Google and you'll see what a nightmare it is for Ducati owners. I'm subscribing to this one, good luck to you.
I use Caswell with my fiberglass tank on my CB750. Two thumbs up. You may have to reseal after a long period, but does the trick. Should cure any cracks you have developing without any problems. Just from experience, mix it a little thin and make sure you get it coated on all parts very well. Then repeat. First time I sealed mine I made it like maple syrup and had some issues about 2 years later. Redid last time with it not as thick and so far, has done the trick.
