Motorcycle tank rust question?

pressure washer accessories image

Spoo Gen

Let's say you have a metal tank and you want to clean it.So you use a pressure washer to get the dirt off there and you instantly dry it out with compressed air.Is it possible that it will rust because of the water you threw inside,although you did dry it out immediately?

Answer
It's not the water that causes the rust.
It's the oxygen in the water, hence "oxidation"
Immediately fill the tank with gasoline to dilute the water.
That will break apart the oxygen molecules and let them
escape the open tank.
Oxygen molecules will not mix with gasoline.
Add fuel stabalizer http://www.autozone.com/autozone/accessories/STA-BIL-8-oz-STA-BIL-concentrated-fuel-stabilizer/_/N-26pj?itemIdentifier=136365_0_0_ to further dilute the water, making
what's left combustible.
