How do I fix a leaking gas tank? I have ’78 Honda Hawk and took the bike apart including the tank?
There is a lot of rust inside and after couple washes with a hose (w/ some applied pressure) little flakes started falling off. Then I noticed that there are small leaks on the seam where two metals come together. I though of stripping the tank off of paint and doing a welding job on it but with the gasoline fumes it is definitely not safe. Is there any way to avoid buying a new tank and saving this one. Also, how do I take the rust out. I know of the bolts and nuts way and the special treatment for rust but are there any other cheaper alternatives that would work?

I’m pretty sure throwing it out would be pretty cheap.
Good Custom Bike Shop might be able to fix it BUT it sounds like you need a New Tank!
Try using Liquid steel i used it on a station wagon and it held until i gor rid of it a year later hope this helps you
