Enjoying this thread, keep it coming! Actually the piano wire tank de-clog method may be relevant for me and my plastic tank at some point (although I guess I’ll have to use less agressive chemicals), as it’s partly blocked and I couldn’t clear it properly as least with the tank in situ.

I was hoping this issue would be moot as I would have swapped to an alu tank by now as the usual plastic tank/modern fuel issue is gradually ruining my expensive custom paint and I’ve no desire to get it repainted only to face same issue again. But I’m still waiting (probably in vain now) for my alu tank ordered with 50% deposit paid over 3 years ago…strangely others got their tanks fine (and quite quickly) but for some mysterious reason my order has yet to be honoured. if anyone lucky enough to have got an alu tank that fits S2R is ever selling it please let me know!
