so, after finally finding a 350 YPVS project I can afford, its time for a strip down. This will be a slow burn project so whats the best way to store a tank to prevent it rusting?

I always leave my bikes full to the brim with fuel.
Both my LC2 and RZ350 tanks look like brand new inside..... not a spot of rust.
I also add Wynn's dry fuel over the winter to absorb any possible water in the tank.
Seems to work for me, both tanks are 35 plus years old, original and like new!👍

Rhe problem I will have is that the tank will be off the bike and in the loft. So cant really leave brimmed with fuel.

Just add some oil into the tank, slosh it around and leave it...thats what Yamaha advise themselves.

I put a 50/50 mix of oil and petrol, half gallon in if its for long time storage, I have quite a few tanks and they all look like new inside still, For short term, Some fuel stabilizer and fill her up..
