Fred,
Please let me know how it works ... upon removing the tank from my 65 TR4-A,
I found that a HUGE hole (1 1/2" x 6")had rusted thru the bottom of it. Since
I couldn't find anyone who could/would weld it,(and I sure can't afford a new
one!) I used POR-15 and their powermesh cloth to patch the hole. I then used
the tank sealer on the inside .... it holds water well enough, but it's going
to be awhile before I'll be ready to try gasoline since I'm in the middel of
rebuilding the engine.
TIA,
Raymond Lucas Hatfield
