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 |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) OK off topic but I have seen these. My brother in Sweden has one. It is a large pot with a crank that tumbles the potatoes. The walls have a heavy grit glued in place. Add water and tumble the potatoes and the skin is rubbed off. Really nice for those small new potatoes. So they were referring to adding heavy grit to the epoxy and replacing the side walls. |

Sorry for expounding on the hijack. |
