<VV> GAS TANK SEALANT

[Chris & Bill Strickland]

Having just got into my second failed 'sealant over rust' gas tank, I 
fully recommend only using sealant, if that is what you think you have 
to do, on a clean, rust free tank.  If it is rusty, clean it up first. 
Most good radiator shops will do this. Of course, most good radiator 
shops can also fix your tank so it is rust, leak, and sealant free.  
Sealant Over Rust, in the long run, is just a very bad idea.  If you 
want it pretty, take it to a 'tinner' (found in most larger metropoli, 
retinning commercial & institutional cookware) after the radiator shop 
has fixed it  (tell the tinner it is repaired so he doesn't melt the 
solder out of it).

Trying to fix one of these "sealed" tanks where the coating is no longer 
permanently bonded to the inside of the tank is a project for the devil.
