Guest delson Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 I sealed the gas tank about 15 years ago. Do not remember the kind of sealer. It is now starting to flake off. What process should I use to remove the old sealer? <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolf Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 I have seen really cruddy gas tanks brought back perfect by the stripping tank in a radiator shop, good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imported_Phil Knapp Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 I have never done this, but I have heard of dropping a short piece of chain in the tank and shaking it around for a while. It sounds like it might work and I may try it on the gas tank for my '41 Zephyr project car. If you can find a radiator shop that still does brass radiators, the hot tank also sounds like a good idea. Most radiator shops only do the new plastic radiators around here, and then it's usually not repair, but replace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

40ZephSedan Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 I took my rusty tank to a local radiator shop here in Cleveland after many good references by local car collectors. This shop cut round holes in the baffles inside the tank to access the whole inside. (sounds dangerous, don't know how they do this without exploding from gas fumes soaked into the crud!) This allowed them to sand blast the full inside, cleaned it and rubber coated the inside and out. So far so good after 6 years! Don't know yet if it will last longer than 15 years but all I talk to never had another problem. Good luck, Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
