Hey guys,
Pulled my tank last night and saw all the dirt from 30 years of gasoline in there. Plenty of rust also. What would you guys recomend as a treament? Is there a POR-15 or some other kit available? I used to use Kreem for motorcycle tanks. |

Yes, POR15 makes a kit. So does Eastwood I think.
The trick with Por15 is that you HAVE TO GIVE EACH STEP PLENTY OF TIME TO DRY or the whole thing fails down the line. Any water under the paint wil eventually cause it to lift. Zach |
