fuel tank sealers

I am in the process of sealing my xj650 fuel tank, I would like to get some suggestions. Which product do you prefer? like por15, kreem or any other product. And why. thanks grm

 

I used the POR15 and after a season of riding it still looks like the day I coated it.

I've heard bad things about the Kreme, but don't have any experience.

 

I like a product called Redkote. Very simple and effective to use (given that the tank is properly prepped),and leaves the inside of the tank a neat red color. If you go to ebay motors and enter Redkote in the search block,you should find a seller offering it for about $35,shipping included.

 

+2 Redkote!!!

 

I've used por15. Very solid liner. Haven't used Kreem, but have read that por15 is heavier than kreem.

 

I'm pretty happy with por15. It's more of a pain to apply, but the end result is that you have a thin, flexible lining that does not crack or chip and can stand up to just about anything that you pour in the tank. As far as I know, the only (hassle-free) way to dissolve it is with por15's own remover.

Kreem has a tendency to become brittle over time. So if you like chunks of plastic floating around your tank, that's the way to go...

 

POR15 or RedKote are the ones real professionals use -- Kreem is a disaster waiting to happen

 

That's what I hear about Kreem too. ---Prep is the challenge. I had an old tank liner to remove, and used toilet bowl cleaner (muriatic acid). Contrary to propaganda, you can use hardware store acids to clean and etch your tank. The por15 is then a pour and slosh application, so you just have to not get acid or tank liner outside the tank, where it will do bad things to your paint job. These rules will likely apply to any tank liner used.
