<div>A friend coated the inside of his tank. After about 5-8 years he began having fuel delivery issues. The coating was separating from the tank & would get sucked up against the pickup tube when the car was running. When the car was shut off or would die due to fuel starvation the coating would drift away from the pickup tube & the engine would re-start. It took a long time to diagnose the source of the problem. When you think about it, the inside of a rusty fuel tank & fuel is a harsh environment to try to protect with a coating. </div>

<div>There is a point where a new fuel tank makes a lot of sense.</div>

<div class="aolmail_MsoNormal"><span style='font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;'>Johns recent comment about his use of sealers on a fuel tank which lasted 15 years.  25 years ago when I bought my BJ8,  I had mine sealed inside and out with an epoxy by a well known local specialist Al’s Radiator in the western suburbs of Chicago.  I called them because of heavy rust plugging the full pump and carb filter.  They were surprised it lasted that long and recommended having it done again.  They are now a part of a rather expensive franchise program which has dealers in Florida.  However, I would like to flush and seal myself.  Has the members of  the list have any suggestions?  The tank does not leak and is original to the vehicle.</span></div>
