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 used Red Coat on my last two 914's with no issues, tech sheet states 250 deg. is the failing point

The original poster indicated he's in Kentucky, and the car's down for the winter. It gets mighty cold in Kentucky, and many products have a range of temperatures suitable for application of the product. If they require a minimum temperature for application or for curing, it's best to follow the guidelines. Some won't apply or stick properly if it's too cold, or even if it's too hot. The Cap'n |
