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 the POR15 gas tank kit and when done, it had a nicely sealed surface that did not rust for the few months it was empty. Follow directions to the letter though...

I used POR15 in the tank of my '73 240Z and it worked great. I also found that putting gravel in the tank and shaking it vigorously gets rid of a lot of surface rust. |
