I coated a gas tank earlier this year with a product from Hirsch Automitive. They gave me a step by step on what to do. I first cleaned the tank with Simple Green. Then used their etch product. And finished up by putting in their sealer. The one warning that they provided was to not use products that contain MEK (Gumout carb cleaner contains MEK). MEK will attack the tank liner.
So far the tank is performing just fine! Here is their website Hirsch Automotive I think that I spent about $50 on the products. And it took 3-4 hours of effort over the course of several days to get the process completed. The Simple Green step was recommended because gas had sat in the tank for about 10 years - yuk!!! |
