OK, Miles tale of woe has got me worried. I disassembled my car 4 months ago, it was running just fine before the "rustoration" started, and in the process I drained and removed by gas tank. It has been sitting on the parts shelf since then. What should I do (if anything) to clean and reline the tank? How should I store it (I haven't done anything, but it sits there with no gas in it and the cap on. Any suggestions will be appreciated. By the way, IMHO the way the Steve at Otto's has responded has not helped him at all. Based on his comments alone, I would not care to do business with his shop. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif)

QUOTE(Mueller @ Mar 5 2004, 02:19 PM) [does anyone know if the powdercoaters purge the inside of the tank with nitrogen or some other inert gas before baking them??? If you haven't come straight from the hot tank I doubt that they will powdercoat it.. My guy's eyes got BIG when I brought my tank in, but I had come straight from the hot tank and there was no smell of gas inside. He did not even speak of purging it. Buy the way, POR-15's instruction sheet say's that all tanks do not require liner. Of course I did mine, you guy's make me nervous! |
