Nominal Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 I took a look inside the fuel tank of my project car today, which has been built for a number of years, and had fuel sitting in it for about 4 years while I (don't) work on it. I like to keep it in running order to make it easier to move around but it has eaten a number of pumps. The tank is fairly rusty inside (on the bare steel) and I need to de-rust and seal it. I have used the POR15 kit before (years ago) and it worked OK I guess. The outer shell is zintec, and I should have used it for the internal bits too. Is it still the best available, or are there other products around. I really only want to do this once, and have it last a long time. Anyone ever had a tank zinc plated/galvanised? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downtrail Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 May sound wak but fibreglass would be good to line it with. Its what almost all the underground storage tanks are made of. Maby even get away with just coating it in the resin. But theres probably better methods of acheiving what you want. Just never had to as i use aluminium.

Nominal Posted June 3, 2015 Author Share Posted June 3, 2015 It's all assembled now, with top welded on. I see that this pic was taken in 2006. How time flies! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyingbrick Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 I don't think galv would work as they'd probably not be able to upend it/shake it out well enough and it will end up heavy and horrible with heaps left inside in a thick puddle.

Rookie Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 Use por15 tank sealer, it is still the best thing in the market. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
