in the 70's I acquired a '56 BMW R69 twin....the owner died around 1960, bike sat, understandably not stored correctly at all.

...upon getting the bike home....(what was left of) the original tank and both mufflers went directly into the trash cans.

greatly pained me....but gotta always look forward. Here's my completed restoration, scan taken from an old, lousy photo. Thats a Heinrich tank...cost around $450 *back then*. Unobtanium today.

OP, your tank is so bad...toss it and buy another.
