So I have been reading about all the seal system kits etc for fuel tanks and after cleaning all the gunk out of mine I wonder if sealing it is really necessary. I looked at POR-15's website and they say if the tank doesnt have any pin-holes or leaks it doesnt need to be sealed at all. However, my thinking is that if I have it all apart anyways whats the harm in sealing it now? Any opinions on this?

I think the jury won't be in about sealing till a lot of sealed tanks remain problem free at say 20-30 years. You can get them back to clean metal as they were when installed as long as the rust hasn't gone too far. Maybe the sealer will fill pits, but for how long? |
