<div dir="auto">My feelings about sealer have changed a little over the years. But to start, I will say I have used the Bill Hirsch kit with good results. I sealed an Austin Healey many years ago with good results, when I tried my Triumph not so good, and ended up getting another tank. If it is not too bad I think sealer works pretty well if the tank isn't too bad, but if really rusted it may just bind the rust up and cause it to break off in bigger pieces. <div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Greg Lemon</div><div dir="auto">TR250</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Sun, Mar 22, 2020, 5:49 PM John Innis <<a href="mailto:jdinnis@gmail.com">jdinnis@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">The previous owner had the tank in my Spitfire sealed with Kreem. That was at least 15 years ago, and I have had no issue whatsoever with the tank. The work was done by a local radiator shop, so I suspect they did a good job of prepping and installing the product since it is still working great. About 10 years ago I installed Kreem in a motorcycle tank that had minor rust issues. I did the whole process outlined in the instructions. Including the rinse with distilled water and MEK. I only owned the bike about 4 years after installing the Kreem, but I never had any issues with it. Installation was a bit of a pain, getting the product evenly distributed and keeping it moving until it was time to drain off the excess. <br></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Sun, Mar 22, 2020 at 5:35 PM Bud Rolofson <<a href="mailto:levilevi@comcast.net" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">levilevi@comcast.net</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">Listerati<br>

I'm refurbishing a Spitfire gas tank and trying to decide to seal it (or not) once all the prep work is done to de-grease and de-rust it.<br>
What say you, seal or not.<br>
If I seal it what sealer have folks had good luck with? I'm looking at, Caswell, Por-15, Kreem, and Eastwood sealers.<br>
I've read good and bad things about sealers.<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
