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 |

You don't really need the gravel portion. Use some degreaser (Marine Clean from POR-15), some rust converter (phosphoric acid), then wash it out and coat it. Unless there is serious rust scale, which I've never seen in a tank.
I'll pick you up at the airport. If you keep the excess cool, it should slow down the reaction long enough to keep it runny during the flight. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif) |
