gas tank rust removal

[dajeepman]

I use muratic acid to clean out my gas tank... one gallon acid and filled the rest up with water... worked like a charm.. i flushed it out and filled it to the top with gas... If i keep gas in it will it keep it from rusting? I don't have the money for Por 15 right now.

This tank went from real dirty rusty to new shiny and all clean.

I've heard of Por15. Is it a better alternative to Kreem? I Kreem'ed my KLT110 tank, and it's been holding now for 2 years, with no sign of problems.

POR15 is a much better product than Kreem. I pulled the Kreem coat out of my BR tank to put a por15 kit in...

since propane is heavier than air, what if we topped off or plain old filled our tanks with propane (or carbon dioxide) for long term storage?

drop in a chunk of dry ice to displace the oxygen?

I prob have 15 different tanks I need to keep happy here on the farm and cant always keep them all full

So what is is POR 15 that you guys speak of? What does it do? Where do I buy it? How much does it cost? I have a little surface rust on the inside of my Big Red tank, will the POR15 get rid of that? Thanks

I think I'd drain a tank for really long term storage, and spray the inside with a light coat of oil to keep it from rusting. An aerosol like G96 gun protectant does a really good job of sealing bare metal against moisture and rust.

Will Kreem plug pin holes?

[Thorpe]

Kreem Sucks. Por-15 will plug pinholes...

POR-15 kit plugged pin holes in my 200x tank, and no more rust to worry about. No leaks since last summer.

When you flushed it, did you use baking soda and water? You gotta kill the acid with something alkaline.

I just ordered the kit off of ebay!

I Flushed it out with 20 gallons of water then rinsed it out with 3 gallons of gas... then Filled it up the final time with gas up to the brim.

so no didn't have any baking soda... I wish I did when i was doing the work.
