Seal that older gas tank to keep rust out of your cycle's fuel system, and to seal minor leaks
A clean supply of fuel is critical to the performance of your motorcycle - hard starting, stumbling under load, and sluggish response may be symptoms that your motorcycle's fuel system is dirty. The best way to ensure that the fuel is clean is to be certain that the fuel tank is free of rust by using a tank sealer.
This Gas Tank Sealer Kit for Motorcycles rids the tank of damaging rust, and then seals it, so your fuel stays cleaner. Plus, it seals minor leaks, so there's no need to search all around town (or pay) for a replacement gas tank for your restoration project.
Also great for lawnmowers, snow blowers, and other small gas tanks.
Includes:
- 7-oz. can of Metal Wash
- 1 pint of Fast Etch Rust Remover
- One 16-oz. bottle of Gas Tank Sealer
About Gas Tank Sealer Kit For Motorcycles
A clean supply of fuel is critical to the performance of any motorcycle. Hard starting, stumbling under load, and sluggish response may be symptoms of a dirty fuel system. The best way to ensure that the fuel is clean is to be certain that the fuel tank is free of rust. See the "FAQs" tab for additional "how-to" information.
This kit is for restoring one metal tank up to 12 gallons. Includes 1-pint Rust Remover, 7-oz. Metal Wash, 1 pint of Sealer, and instructions. You will need to purchase Muriatic Acid (dilute 20:1) and Acetone from your local hardware store.
(Q) How do I use this kit?
(A) First you'll use the Metal Wash to remove any fuel varnish in the tank, then use muriatic acid (diluted 20:1; available at your local hardware store) to etch into the metal and rust. Rinse with water, then pour Fast Etch inside to coat all surfaces. Pour out the excess Fast Etch, then pour in Acetone (available from your local hardware store) to coat interior. After pouring excess Acetone out, pour in Gas Tank Sealer to coat all surfaces. Finally, drain-off excess and allow to dry. (Additional sealer can be applied if the coating hasn't been exposed to fuel.)
(Q) Does it matter what kind of fuel will be used in the tank?
(A) The sealer resists fuel additives and is compatible with both gas and diesel fuels. Your newly reconditioned tank will resist rust and corrosion build-up, ensuring years of reliable service.
(Q) What if I have to remove old sealer?
(A) Should the need arise to remove old sealer, pour in a gallon or more of Acetone. It may take up to 2 days for the Acetone to completely dissolve the old sealer.
(Q) Does this kit work on fiberglass?
(A) If fiberglass tank has exposed mat, do not use this kit. Damage can occur.

This is an excellent product from Eastwood with very easy to understand instructions. Having never sealed a gas tank before I was very pleased to have it go so well! You cant go wrong with this product and I found it has enough in it to do two tanks! Way to go Eastwood, you helped bring the old Honda Hawk back to life!Value Quality Price
