    restoring a 350x gas tank

    what is that junk you guys are spraying on the inside of these? Krylon? Kremyl? I cant for the life of me remember what you guys are using to re seal these tanks!

    Thanks

    I think what your thinking of is kreme. I hear the por.15 tank sealant is the way to go though.

    I'm in the process of fixing a tank as we speak with the POR-15 system. I'll let this forum know how it turns out!

    I redid a 200x tank that was pretty rusted inside. I used (walmart) distilled vinigar 2 gallons & 2 oz of rock salt. Shook it around for a few hours here and there. Then let it sit for about 12 hours. I hosed it out and it was really clean. Important: when you get most of the water out soak the inside with WD40 or something like that once you have 90% of the water out. If you don't it will rust up lightly within hours.

    It cost like $8 i think. maybe less i bought 4 gallons. & i had rock salt.

    I'm no tree hugger but this was a cool way not have to buy some type of chemical.

    Kreme sucks... I removed a Kreme kit from my BR tank, and redid it with a por-15 kit...
    No trikes. Too old, too crippled. Unless I find one I can't live without!

    It's all included. You can see in the top pic there is a bottle of cleaner and acid that comes with it.
