    I quickly emptied my tank because I didn't know if the vinegar will eat my petcock (if that's what it's called lol) but I can't get the bloody thing off the bolts are seized I tryed wd40 but still not coming off.
    Does anyone reckon the vinegar will eat though it?

    vinegar is mildly acidic .... it wont eat thru it but it should really only be left on a surface for 24 hours or so ... just my observations

    wash out your tank with hot soapy water , then clean water ...then dry it in the sun and get some fuel in there ASAP so it doesnt get surface rust.

    I looked up and it happened to a few people(with different bikes) but I worry to much lol
    I'll get the pressure cleaner in there aswell.
    Thanks for the advice grey.
    I only have 3litres, should I fill the rest up with water so it gets the rust off the top too ?

    I start with 91 in my bikes (its the cheapest) for a tank or 3 ... then do a complete fill up with 95 for another tank or 3 then compare the performance
