I've got minor surface rust on the interior of my fuel tank. Since I'm pulling the tank out for other maintenance, I might as well handle this too.
Any thoughts on the best way to handle this job? I know there is some controversy about the Eastwood/POR kits. thanks, Rusty |

I used the POR kit with good result. I suspect the people who didn’t get as good a result didn’t follow the instructions to the letter? I did get burned by one of the chemicals when my duct tape improvised tank seals got leaky during the sloshing. The inside of my tank is pristine silver finish. I did mine at least a decade ago.
