Jake, I asked this question a little while ago of a Forum member who builds Tank gearboxes, He said to use Motorcycle chain lube and as a biker I know just how well chain lube sticks, If you have a HENG LONG Tank and want to upgrade, WALTERSONS gearboxes come with a tube of lubricant I hope that helps. shaun
I think I am about to upset someone :haha:

Read the label on the lube Jake...if it's pure silicone use it... if it has a petroleum distillate don't ...if it does get on your plastic it will harm it ...also your paint ;)
