Hi Andrew,
I used the Eastwood kit on my tank about 3 years ago but first I had the
tank chemically cleaned at a local metal refinisher where they dip the parts
in some kind of nasty material that removes everything down to clean metal.
I think it cost me about $100.00 for the cleaning. He put some kind of
phosphorous coating on the bare metal to retard rusting. When I got it back
the inside and outside was spotless and it actually didn't leak! That was a
good starting point for the kit.
It's all painted on the outside and coated on the inside so it should be
good to go for as long as I have it. LOL

Subject: [TR] Gas tank repair
I am about to install a gas tank in a '57 small-mouth and first filled it
with gas to check for leaks. Wouldn't you know it - a pinhole leak at the
bottom corner.
In the past I have had tanks professionally "sealed", but it was expensive
and I have heard mixed feedback.
I see Eastwood advertising gas tank repair products and Permatex has one out
there. Does anyone have experience with any of these products or
suggestions / advice on dealing with the issue? Thanks!
