[QUOTE="ws6transam, post: 1420593, member: 65064"] No offense taken. This stuff is stuck in that tank for pretty much ever... It's impervious to chemicals and when it peels, it seems to peel in big sheets. I dont think screws or BBs will touch it. I'm going to keep looking for a used tank that is in good shape They are rather hard to find though, as maybe 1500 or 2000 units were ever made world-wide. They do pop up on occasion. $500 for a new tank though... >whew<. I'm used to spending money on motor parts but plastic, on the other hand... It's a paradigm I haven't been able to quite get my head around yet. However it is the only part on this machine that hasn't been gone over, so you never know. In retrospect, had I bought the tank straight off, I might've saved the $40 for that blue lightning, another $80 on the bubbled tank decals and probably the $200 piston and $200 cylinder repair. Man, I just don't like math problems that add up that way. How much is a 20 year-old Yamaha 500 worth, anyway? [/QUOTE]
