Soldering Fuel Tanks

[Bob Carriere]

...and blow yourself up......could you share your experience with the POR????

I will be facing the same problem as you encountered..... my tanks may actually need a metal patch to cover the rusted hole loctaed behind the holding strap.

I want to coat the inside as well BUT what I have been able to see trhough the hole has me concerned. The tanks seem to have baffle plates made of perforated steel...about a quarter inch holes with two such baffles...... and enough loose rust to vuild another tank. How much of a mess did you make.... I have used POR paint before and know from expereince it takes 3 weeks to wear off spills off your skin......

I have used antique car gas tank coating that looks like a white rubberized coating on old tractor gas tanks with no baffles... had excellent results even sealed the millions of pin holes in the tanks.

This white stuff I used could be poured back in a can for future use..... I bet POR would hardened way to quickly for that. Did you use the full quart....??? Or come to think of it is it the special tank sealer that POR sells which is different than the paint POR???

Thanks for your comments.
