gas tank cleaning ?

emptied my gas tank and and some white-ish silky shit came out after almost all the gas was out ? is that a liner or something on the inside or just some build up, and how or what should i use to clean it out ?

take it to you local radiator shop and have to flushed and a new liner put in. i just had the same thing happen with some fat bob tanks i bought. liner is tough to get out of a tank and easy to fuck up when putting it in. it only cost me 40 bucks. good deal then buying sealer and accetone a couple times when i messed it up

don't use the acetone base air dry sealers like Kreem. they are a waist of money, todays gas will dissolve them.
buy a 2 part epoxy sealer like Caswell's tank sealer

Redkote is the shit.

Redkote is a solvent based sealer that is dissolved by acetone and MEK and todays gasoline has many solvent based fuel injector cleaners in it.

guess what happens...

Good to know. Thanks. What would you advise? A couple of tank shops swear by it, and I've had bad luck with Kreem.

check out a 2 part epoxy tank sealer like Caswells, I've been fucking with gas tanks for a long time and it is the only one I'll ever use or sell.

Thanks. And disregard the pm I sent you about this.

As long as you keep gas in your tank you don't need a liner. I've many different tanks for years with nothing but bare steel on the inside.

I think everyone would agree, if you tank doesn't leak don't seal it.

i found out it is a liner and it was more than likely por 15 that someone tried to use but maybe didnt do the best job cause now its coming off already, but on por 15's website they have a hd repair kit that comes with everything u need to clean it out and seal it again . thankx for all the responses
