Hi Shaun
<How did you clean the tanks/pipes out and what did you coat them with?
Very much the same process as Rich A described. Just a few differences..
Rootes used a really robust paint on the tank interior, Dispite loads
of flakes I was unsucessfull in finding any solvent that would put any
dent in the paint... Even the local radiator guys tank did nothing
after 2 days immersed..
I used a length of sharp edged shash chain as my abbrasive.
Hand shaking will work but is slow and tiring. Being lazy when I
did my second Alpine I talked the hardware store paint guy into
shaking each tank on the paint mixer. Made quite a racket...
but was done in a couple minuites.
I don't remember the brand or details of applying the yellow coating
goop.. I'm sure I followed the manufactures instructions. It has
been in place for over 15 years now with out problem.
