Hello guys. I just purchased a 2006 VTX1800F. Bike is basically new, only has 1,700 miles on it. The problem? Previous owner let it sit for two years with gas in it. The gas tank appears to have some rust inside and the red lining is gone.

Could use some direction on what to do. Do I need a new tank? Can I clean this one out and just change the fuel filter and be good to go? She actually starts and runs pretty good believe it or not.

thank you

Running it was your first mistake. Now all that crap is through the system.
