ed use a hair dryer to warm the old graphics and they should come off a lot easier,you can also use a hot air gun but you have to be carefull

Use contact cleaner on the glue that sometimes gets left. Some brands are better than others but there are so many ..............

you shouldn't need to if your using the hair dryer technique,i'd give the paint stripping gun a miss on a tank with fuel in it paddy

If you use a jet wash the graphics will come off anyway
