Whats actually suppost to be inside a petrol tank.

Because so far i've pulled out a large towl, a lerge white pipe and there are some things still rattling around in there that i can't get out. Any ideas?

At a guess.

I would say petrol, although I am a biker n00b so don't quote me on this!

Confused

Could it be one of them funny catalysing things, that were supposed to increase your miles per gallon?

LOL

On a serious note though, anyone any idea how to get this stuff out!? Rolling Eyes

I've flushed as much as i can with a hose and shook it upside down.(it will be thourghly dried) . But i can still hear loose stuff.

I presume it's just perseveerence. Confused

Torch and piece of wire to hook it out?

Magnet on string if it is something metallic?

Blue-tak on a piece of dowel

What sort of bike is it anyway?

A magnet on a stick/string is good for picking up ferrous rubbish from anywhere, not just the tank. If you can't get everything out no matter how hard you try, check and clean the fuel tap bowl, check and clean the carburettor float bowl(s) and jets, and fit an inline fuel filter. Then forget about the stuff in the tank. Whistle

Just don't forget to check the filter later on.

It's not some type of device that shows how much fuel is in the fuel tank is there? Something like that was rattle up and down in an empty tank, I think.

According to his 'Remote start' thread it's a CG125.

How much did you pay for this thing, it sounds like a proper lemon! Neutral

Well if it is a CG125, there should be nothing in there other than the fuel filter and that is supposed to be firmly attached to the end of the fuel tap.

Anything rattling about wants to come out.
