DIY sealing it ALWAYS ends poorly....
It was quite rusty on the ridge that goes over the frame. The rest of the tank was very clean. Soaked it in apple cider vinegar and cleaned it up. Now it's clean (with pitting), but it needs to be sealed to prevent further rust.
Interesting, everything I have read about the POR-15 Tank sealer works really well. This isn't a daily street bike, nor do I think I'll keep it for years to come. It is 20 years old at this point.
