IMS tank cleaning??
USMC 500:
I wanna hear what everyone has to say about this one......The translucent IMS tank I have has gone a yellowish color over the years and before I start experimenting I would like to hear if anyone has had any positive or negative experiences with getting these tanks back to its original color........ :|

Ims says to use kitchen cleaner. Forget which. Its on their site I think it was "SOFT SCRUB WITH BLEACH". But not sure.
Magic erasers have worked for small spots on mine
But moonshine foreshots work wonders

I would tink that the bleach part of the cleaner is key.
Before and after pics would be cool. :mrgreen:

I was wondering about something along these lines myself. I have a like new translucent tank & I know its going to dye & age. I'd like to dye it purple or preferably green from the inside before I start using it in hopes it wont look as crusty as translucent tanks tend to do. I've thought of just getting a cheap mix oil & solvent, filling the tank & letting it sit for the next 6 months while I build the bike. Anybody have a better idea?
Sorry for the hijack just seems it could go hand in hand with restoring a translucent tank
