[TR] MOSS Tank Sealer Removal - TR3A

[William Brewer]

Thanks Peter,     I derusted the original tank with muriatic acid and then
flushed it with water then lacquer thinner. This prevented any flash rusting.
The metal was bright & shiny and I assumed that this was good enough for
adhesion. Maybe it wasn't good enough.     After I get the current white
coating out, I am going KBS. The last time I used it (on my Mercedes) it was
wickedly adhesive and also put on a thick coating.     Sorry to bash MOSS on
this.

>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...Likewise, Peter Arakelian! Tell MOSS that your tank sealer
doesn't cut it
First - did you prep it properly?  Vendor recommends a heavy duty
cleaner, then an etcher to promote adhesion.  Like KBS does.
Removal - use MEK, Methyl Ethyl Ketone, or take to a redi strip place to
have it boiled out.

And this formula is alcohol resistant.
