[Shop-talk] Gas Tank Restoration

[Douglas Shook]

I used Kreem years ago to encapsulate rust on a tank and it held for 10 years until alcohol petrol started dissolving it and the flakes ended up plugging the fuel lines, fuel filter and pilot jets. It was quite a mess to clean.

I needed to use acetone to remove the Kreem and then used Evapo-rust to remove the underlying rust. I had traces of Kreem fouling the fuel system for quite some time.

I probably would not use another tank liner as a result of my experiences.

Best,

Kreem and POR-15 have been the long time Go To solutions for this problem. That said, I’ve got no personal experience with either system.
