Tying to fight the winters grip here in KY, so the minds loose and wondering. Working on my old 914 project, at least in my mind for now, but I have a question that maybe someone else can answer.
I have my gas tank removed from the car and I wish to seal the inside of the tank with any of the gas tank coating kits on the market, to of course prevent any rust in the fuel system. My question is it might be months or more before the tank will be put back into service. I haven't found anything out about if this will cause any problems? I mean setting dry without gas in it? I would think that the sealer would cure better that way? Any thoughts? Thanks Robert in cold and snowy KY |

I only use the Caswell epoxy sealer. I poured the excess from a tank resealing on my shop floor, right in front of the door, about 5 years ago and it's still fine. This stuff will never come out. That can't be said about any other sealer.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) porous concrete versus metal submersed in fuel may not be a great comparison, but if it works and is properly applied, go for it. rich |
