Fuel tank



I have saved several tanks by taking them to a local place called American Metal Cleaning
(http://www.americanmetalcleaninginc.com), who do derusting of entire cars and large machines that
are under rebuild (apparently in Canadia, too!).  The metal comes out of this process shiny new
and 100% rust free.  Of course it will rust again, but some paint on the exterior covers that. 
For the inside of the tank, they sold me a quart of RedKote Fuel Tank Liner, and you tape off the
ports, dump this syrup in the tank, and roll it around the backyard "like a monkey f???cking a
football" (as I was instructed).  It coats very well and seals about forever.  You have to get
every piece of plastic out of the tank (screens, screen mounts, pump of course, etc.) or the
process will do that for you.

G/L, and believe me, this process WORKS.
