GParks New Member Minitwins Join Date: Nov 2005 Location: Dallas, TX USA Posts: 17	Does anyone know what type of metal, specifically, the gas tank on an '02 Bonnie is made of? I need to know what buffing compound to choose for the surface. Aluminum? __________________ ---------------- I've thought about this, and I agree with myself.
