Gas tank liner

Does anyone out there know of a product to use to coat the inside of your tank? I think I read somthing on here , but I dont remember where I saw it.

Thanks.

 

I think the product most use is called Kreem. I have seen it on Ebay. Shops should have it too.

 

I would avoid Kreem. It has a tendency to peel and ruin your tank...
The products that have been getting good reviews are POR-15 liner kit, Redkote, Caswell epoxy liner, and KBS liner kit.

 

+1 on POR-15. Was a tedious process but well worth it.

 

POR-15 works great! Only use Kreem if you want to redo it next year, not a fan.

 

I've used Kreem and the Caswell.

There are 3 very nice things about Caswell:

1 - It's not necessary to remove any rust that isn't loose. In fact, they recommend leaving surface rust as it gives a better bond.

2 - There is no rinse step like with the Kreem. The Kreem rinse will wash paint right off if any leaks. The Kreem coating is also very aggressive on the paint, but since it's thicker leaks are less of an issue.

3 - Since the only chemical in the caswell is the epoxy you don't need to have really tight plugs on any openings. This means you can seal the petcock opening, fuel sender port etc. with tape.

Two drawbacks to the Caswell:

1 - It's clear, so if you don't remove the rust first you can see that rust through it and the tank looks rusty.

2 - It seems to be very temperature sensitive. I used it just below the recommended temperature range and it was tough to coat the entire tank because it flowed so slow.

 

POR15 is hard to beat.

 

I have used both POR15 and Kreem and have have good results with both. I have two tanks done with Kreem and have not had any problems. Both tanks are over three years old. I would guess to say that the ones that have had problems with it probably didn't prep right.

 

Hey guys , just got home and wanted to say thanks to all for your input.

I love this site.

 

I second REDKOTE. It worked great for me. Really easy to see and make sure you haven't missed anything.

But I need to check out this POR15 thing... sounds like its getting some rave reviews here.

 

Eastwood had a decent kit
