Gas tank sealer...

Do you have a product name and a place to purchase. I noticed that “POR” has a product but not sure if it will perform well.

I used Red-Kote on my Kingston.  Purchased locally.

Make sure it doesn't drip into the flapper valve.

I used the POR product in the fuel tank of my Chev back in 2000 and it hasn’t caused any problems since. Although I have heard of some having problems with it but I tend to wonder how good their prep work was, I spent a lot of time  on prep

The beauty of POR-15 is a lot of prep work is NOT necessary as the liquid likes to bond to tight rust rather than nice, clean, metal.

And make sure you wear gloves when using POR, it sticks to your skin like sh*te. Takes a at least a week for it to wash off.

Oh well I’m wrong again ? I’m pretty use to that. Then again I probably didn’t have shiny metal as it was the inside of the tank but I did make sure there was no more rust flakes or tar black rubbishy stuff coming out and that did still take a lot of time. I also had the stop silhouette out of a tail light that was very corroded and fragile I dipped it in the left overs and it’s still in one piece too. Anyway good product.

Will use the POR 15 product. 

Thanks for your input.
