In Reply to: Gas tank liner posted by Super-H-Mike on August 24, 2011 at 18:26:40:
I just went through my tank after it sat for 15 years. When I first looked in it I was sure I would have to line it. It looked to me to be very rusty. But I tried lining an old Suzuki tank with disastrous results. Besides, there is a baffle in your tank that I think would not allow you to get a good "flow" of the lining goo. But that's already been addressed. What I did was to soak the tank with a gallon of lacquer thinner. (Don't forget to plug the hole in the bottom first)I swished it around every so often for 3 days. When I dumped it out I couldn't believe the crud that came out. It turns out that my "rust" (it really looked just like rust) was shellac from 50 years of gas evaporating. Then I used a commercial steam cleaner (not just a pressure washer, you need the heat) set at 300 degrees and sprayed the s**t out of it through both holes. When I look inside it now, it looks like it's brand new. It got good and hot which evaporated most if not all the water inside the tank. Hope this helps Dave
