Also if you look on eBay you can get a 2 pack sealing paint you swish around in the tank mainly for motorbikes this seals it compleatley gives a nice coat on the inside.

Not all fuel tank sealants are resistant to ethanol, so be careful here.

we have had trouble with the frost stuff it dosent seem to be that resistant to ethanol there are some others that are better but i would try other stuff before coating. My small bore turbo project http://www.turbominis.co.uk/forums/index.php?p=vt&tid=473901 |

Im in the process of trying to sort it out with the seller at the moment, but if I do end up keeping it thewn i dont think i will seal the tank and i think the only reason its rusty is because its sat unused since the 70's!

Use small link chain instead of nails, no chance of leaving any behind when you empty it out then. www.topcatcustom.co.uk |
