Car: 1973 Triumph Spitfire 1500.

I used this product to save my OEM gas tank after I welded some rust holes. Its easy to use and my only concerns were what to do with all the chemical/water rinses and what works best to seal the tank when sloshing. My tank is small, but I used the full kit as recommended. I found that nitrile gloves, zip ties and duct tape work well enough to seal the tank. You need acetone and a small amount of muriatic acid (I got it in the pool section of the local big-box home center), which boosts the cost slightly. I reserved a day to do the process but it did not take that long. They recommend using slow air pressure to evacuate the tank after you are done, I found that a small fan directed into the sender hole and out the fill hole worked great. I ran the fan for two days until all "odors" were gone. All-in-all it worked great. Make sure you do this before you paint the tank.

Positives: Step-by-step process is well defined. Quality of final coating is great and smooth.

Cons: nasty chemicals to play with, had to repeat acid slosh step three times to get the rust gone, maybe a stronger acid ratio should be recommended.

Picture: Attached picture is post curing. note some acid and sealer marks on sender opening.

Review by 1969 cudaman

15 Years ago, a new gas tank for a 1969 Barracuda was pretty expensive. I was restoring a basket case that had not run in years, and my gas tank was bad rusty on the inside, so I tried this kit. It was pretty easy to apply, and it worked great. Well, 15 years later my sending unit dies. I figure since I needed to pull the tank anyway, I might as well buy a new one - they are only $130 now. Once I pulled the tank and looked inside, I was shocked at what I saw. After 15 years, the epoxy lining was still 100% intact. I could have easily kept using the old tank, but I already had a new one. Wow! This stuff works great.

Kit worked great. Instructions were simple to follow. Only thing I would add is be sure to pour the muriatic acid solution out of your tank into at least a 3 gallon bucket because once you add the baking soda to it - the checmical reaction causes it to expand in volume. (much like a kids volcano science project). I poured mine into a smaller container and had overflow when I added the baking soda.
Other than that, I had no problems and the tank came out great.

I am restoring a 1946 John Deere Mod. 'B' tractor. The fuel system was extremely corrupted starting with the gas tank. I took it off and followed the instructions on the "GAS TANK SEALER KIT". It took me about 7 hours but the results are fantastic. The completed job left the inside of the tank with a white coating that seemed as hard as ceramic and cleean as a whistle.

I ordered the kit on a Friday afternoon and it was at my farm the next day. Super Service

Just finished cleaning and sealing my 31
Desoto gas tank. The inside was full of varnish, fuel deposits and some rust which was getting in my fuel line. Your product cleaned up the inside like new and the sealant coated it like a fresh coat of white paint.
Took about 5 hours start to finish. Well worth the price and effort vs. chasing down and buying a new tank .

This stuff is great, Coated my tank perfectly, follow the steps exactly and your tank will look brand new inside. Keep in mind when buying this product that you will need to buy muriatic acid, and acetone to treat the tank, and set aside a few hours to do it. The instructions call for the tank to be rotated in 5-10 min intervals on all sides, for allmost every step.

This was a great product. I purchased it to treat my tank since, after welding in a sump I never sealed the tank. The fuel would go stail fast. This product worked very well. Keep in mind though that you will also need to purchase Muriatic acid, and acetone to complete the steps to clean the tank. Follow the steps exactly and you will have a brand new looking tank. Also, set aside a few hours since it has you rotate the tank every 5-10 min in every step.

I had good results with the kit, but my tank is not 100%. I have a 83 Camaro tank and it has a bunch of baffles inside of it. I had to do the muriatic acid step twice and I still couldn't get all of the rust out of the inside of the tank. The coating was also difficult to get on everything and I might not have gotten everything due to the baffles. In the end, I am completly happy, the kit was ont $50 plus another $15 for a acetone and muriatic acid. A new tank for my car is over $200 and has known fitment issues. The parts I could see looked great and the old gas smell was gone. The coating will also be a plus due to the new ethanol blended fuels.

Many of you classic Benz owners have fuel delivery problems. Most people replace everything else and exclude doing the tank. The tank is the FIRST thing you should do as after 30 years the tanks in these cars rust up internally. I got a 1/2 gallon of rusty sludge out of my tank and thought it would be too far gone to save but it had no holes and decided to try this tank sealer. It takes a while to do each step right but the results are very good. A new tank is $850 shipped for my car...I spent $50 on the kit and another $30 on the actetone and muratic acid. I am very happy with the results. Follow the instructions and it will restore your tank to like new condition inside. Anybody that owns a classic 1980 Benz or older NEEDS this product. While I was at it I replaced the fuel pump and filter and hope to not have any more fuel delivery problems for years to come. Luckily my injectors weren't clogged thanks to the filter ;-) It would be nice if Eastwood would make an injector cleaning device for the home garage mechanic....
