Looking for input.
Found rust inside my gas tank and curious what people use to clean and seal. I purchased evaporust and am going to use that after a good washout. What have you used that worked well? Also, aside from POR 15 fuel tank sealer what products have you used that you thought worked well or found not to? Lastly, sealer recommendation, rust removal tactics and quantity of sealant needed to coat a 914 tank. Thank you very much for any advice/input. Brett |

I have used electrolysis with good results. All you need is a battery charger and some water (maybe a little baking soda). Mine came out spotless. Google how to do it .
