GAS TANK REPAIR TIPS

Severely rusted tanks: First and foremost, knock out scale and heavy rust by putting stones or marbles in the tank and banging it around. It is not suggested using metal objects that could cause sparking. The next step is a good cleaning and etching with metal prep or rust removers. Sloshing this metal prep in and leaving it in overnight or as long as necessary is suggested. DRAIN PREP COMPLETELY AND CHECK THAT IT HAS COMPLETELY DRIED. After the tank dries out, dump the entire contents of the sealer in through the sending unit hole. SPECIAL NOTE: Sending unit screws should have a dab of grease on the threads and ran halfway in. Drain holes can be kept open by shoving vacuum line coated with a light film of oil to prevent clogging. After the sealer dries, simply remove the hose. Be sure to coat the inside of the tank evenly with a thin film coat of the MasterSeries Permanent Rust Sealer. Drain entire contents back into the can and replace the lid immediately. After coating has dried for a minimum of two hours, a second coat is recommended. After the second coat is throroughly drained, leave tank stand on end to ensure all excess sealer is drained out completely. NOTE: AVOID PUDDLING; THIN COATS ARE RECOMMENDED.

DO NOT PUT BACK INTO CAN OR LID MAY BLOW OFF.

Outside leaks, pinholes, and crack seams: MasterSeries Permanent Rust Sealer Silver is recommended for the outside of the tank. Some applications will not require removal of the tank. Area to be coated must be dry and clean. Two coats are recommended. The pigment from the bottom can be spread over holes to seal larger holes. COATING SHOULD BE DRY TO TOUCH BEFORE RECOATING OR RESEALING.
