Hi all
Has any one used this fuel diamond?
If so any feed back?
FUEL EMULSIFICATION is a real pain in the a*s..kills kwakers
Just how do they get away with selling C***py fuel..
THE FUEL DIAMOND REDUCES THE RISK OF THE PETROL IN YOUR FUEL TANK GOING STALE OVER WINTER LAY OFFS INFACT IF YOU HAVE A CAR OR MOTOR CYCLE THAT YOU DO NOT OFTEN REFUEL DUE TO LITTLE USE THE FUEL DIAMOND WOULD BE IDEAL FOR YOU TO USE.THE FUEL DIAMOND STOPS THE WHAT CAN BE A RAPID DROP IN OCTANE
IT STOPS THE CHANGE IN FUEL COLOUR
IT STOPS EMULSIFICATION

Can't answer this question, or the one about zinc plating, but the subject has come up before, although with no real conclusion. There's quite a few products around for this problem now. I've soldered rust pinholes in tanks for 2 SDs & a CB500 recently, then sealed them with POR15, which was quite impressive. I might use it in my completely rust free 400NA tank as well, as a precaution. Have a look through the old thread - honda-superdream.co.uk/thread/2866/modern-petrol |

Is por15 a good product Ian? I'm still thinking about doing my tank sometime.

I haven't had petrol in it long, so don't know how well it will last, but over 3 months there's been no sign of the petrol effecting it, and it was easy to apply, goes on really thick & seems to stick well. I don't think the 500 tank was totally sealed until I put the POR15 in.

my tank looks in pretty good nick so I thought lining it would help combat the rubbishy,ethanol loaded petrol they sell today.
Is it difficult to do?

No, once you've cleaned & dried the inside of the tank & blocked the filler & fuel tap pipe, you just pour it in, then gently shake the tank around 'till the whole inside is covered. Finally leave the excess to drain out the fuel tap pipe. My tanks were rusty, so I used brick cleaner to de-rust them, then rinsed with water, then degreased with meths, before using the POR15.

Thanks for that info Ian, I think I'll give it a go when I get the time.

Quote from the dreaded Wicki P "Vinegar is a liquid consisting mainly of acetic acid (CH3COOH) and water. The acetic acid is produced by the fermentation of ethanol by acetic acid bacteria."
So, as you can see the added ingredient of 'petrol' may turn to vinegar in your tank like an opened unfinished bottle of Beaujolly! I know, that's anathama to many on this site!
So the fuel diamond may be killing the bacteria?
