    How to Clean off the undercoating

    A bunch of aerosol cans of cheap oven cleaner and a power washer is how i do it. A hot day will make the cleaner work better. Get some gloves goggles mask and old clothes because you are going to have that crud all over you.

    rust in fuel tank

    I used swimming pool acid. The name escapes me right now. And baking soda to neutralize. As far as disposal i diluted the acid with so much water it didnt even hurt the grass in my backyard. Gloves goggles long sleeves and i had a fan to blow the fumes away from me. DON'T breathe that stuff!

    wintergreen oil restores rubber

    I have read on antique motorcycle forums that they use oil of wintergreen and alcohol to restore old rubber items. The alcohol opens up the rubber so that the oil can get in. Apparently they use it on impossible to replace spark plug boots and stuff like that. I have a really cool military gas...
