Wondering if any of you have had experience with the Caswell Epoxy (PHENOL NOVOLAC); Bill Hirsch Gas Tank Sealer (similar to Randolf 912); or the aviation slosh sealer like the 3M 776 and PRC SLOSHING SEALER PR-1005-L (Buna-N) ?

I've read too many bad reviews on the POR-15 marketed US Standard Tank sealer, and that Kreme also "flakes off" esp. if there is any alcohol in your local gasoline.

TIA,

are you chasing?

i have always been very leery of those tank coatings. i have never used them.

I have rust in my tank. I'm going to remove as much of it as possible without splitting open the tank, and I don't want it to re-appear, or whatever is left, I want it sealed so it doesn't contaminate the fuel.

New tanks are $800+, splitting and repainting is about $400, and even a used tank, no one is willing to claim their tank has no corrosion, so I might as well do mine for $40-50 worth of materials, and my time.

had any rust in any benz tank in over 30 years of driving them on and off. and owning 29 of them.

i am wondering if you might have gotten it in thru the nozzle from the station.

i would be tempted to try to clean it out and just skip the coating at least for a while and see how it goes.
