Help with bike lying up

[Hooli]

Different code for the tank is just down the different paint jobs as far as I'm aware.

[seth]

Partly @Hooli all tanks fit every model but the earlier models have a different filler hole without the restricter the later models have does make a difference to using the tank on any other model just when filling up the later nozzle hole is smaller .
Hope that made some kind of sense.

[Blubber]

The gsx1400 tanks are interchangeable throughout the whole range. Biggest difference is the paint.

A k2 has a bigger filler hole in it so a dumbass can get a diesel pistol in it.

Think they that changed that in 2004.

Must type faster 

[seth]

Sorry buddy @Blubber

[Hooli]

Never having been in a household with one newer than K3 I didn't know that...

So would you need a different filler cap for the later tanks too?

[seth]

Nope same filler cap across all models .

Mate what you gonna do with the tank that came with the bike

[Suzuki boi]

Thanks lads.
Bought the original tank I was looking at.
There's a dent in it and scratch,but f**k it.
Wanna attempt at either pulling the dent out or using something like body filler to repair it then spray it.
Never did anything like that before so will be fun.
Ordered the fuel pump so hoping to have it by the end of next week and firing her up!!

Impressive rot 

[Blubber]

I think he tried to clean the tank a with pickling paste , like Pelox or something.

The main working ingredients are Nitric Acid and Hydrofluoric acid.

It is used for local corrosion ( and cleaning welds ) but you need to neutralise it after use... ( and degrease before use )

If left it's worse than the original problem
