Gas Tank Sealer Red Kote, Anybody Have Actual Experience with it? I'm a little concerned Options

[Lucky9146]

This is suppose to be the best product on the market.



I had this done at my go to radiator shop locally about 2 years ago and when I had it boiled out and some welding done. Now keep in mind I am just now getting to the point of firing this car up for the first time so NO GAS was in the tank until now. After putting some fuel in, as a precautionary check, I decided to drain some fuel from the tank to see what ever I could from the drained fuel and it had a reddish tinge.

Called Damon Inc the manufacturer, this morning and spoke to the technical people and was told this is normal just the die coming off and will cause no harm they get this call all the time. BUT if were RED then that would be a problem. The red dye added to the coating to allow you to visually see that you have it fully coated vs. having it clear and not being able to tell the coverage.

Looking for input from anyone here who has actually used this product.
Thanks

Wanted to thank those who responded to this thread giving me the feedback I was really hoping for to move forward. Damon told me they receive this call of concern all the time and have not had any problems as the feedback here reinforces.

As I posted on my build thread, Damon technical folks also suggested a fill and drain of the tank (mostly for my peace of mind) to help reduce the red dye from the fuel. I am doing this and utilizing that drained fuel in my DD. Just wanted to do as much as possible to prevent any affect of the red dye on my carbs and new engine.
