[TR] MOSS Tank Sealer Removal - TR3A

[William Brewer]

     12 years ago I slushed my TR3A gas tank with the white tank coating that
MOSS sells. Before sloshing, I derusted the tank with muriatic acid, then
flushed out with water/baking soda to neutralize the acid, and then rinsed
that with lacquer thinner so it was bright, clean and shiny. Now twelve years
later the coating is coming off in various locations and it plugged the fuel
line and left my wife stranded on a country road in the dark. Not happy.     I
want to get the MOSS sealer out and coat it with a coating by KBS. I used it
on my Mercedes tank and the stuff is awesome.

     Anyway, I tried lacquer thinner and that didn't do anything to the
sealer. I tried muriatic acid and it discolored the coating and kind of made
it bubble/wrinkle up in places. I don't want to try any more acid because I
think that it might eat through the tank somewhere.     Does anyone know how
to get the stuff out of the tank?     I might try a radiator shop to see if
their boil-out tank will take it out. It took out the factory coating in my
Mercedes.     Likewise, Peter Arakelian! Tell MOSS that your tank sealer
doesn't cut it and you should sell KBS coatings instead.     Anyone on the
list have a spare TR3A fuel tank that they would sell for a reasonable price?
