POR-15 49239 Auto Fuel Tank Repair Kit

Take your time and follow the instructions. Make sure you mix the sealer well before use. Very satisfied with the results on a antique tractor tank.

Worked great with no issues.

The tank rehab kit is from POR15. I read the instructions about 4 times and watched some YouTube videos. I followed the instructions meticulously. If I made a mistake maybe I did not slosh the final coating around long enough. I did roll it around thoroughly for a 1/2 hour but some areas look to have a thinner coating than others. Granted it is hard to see in there. The instructions did not specify a time for the final coat. Also it would be nice to know when it’s going to start to thicken. I thought I had 30 min to an hour but in reality it was about 2 1/2 hours before the final coating started to thicken. Had I known that I would have kept rolling it around in there for a full hour or so before draining off the excess. However, I am happy with the product and I’m sure it will work out ok. Also I have a jerry can to do and I should have done both at the same time. I could easily have poured the chemicals from one tank to the next and done both with the one kit, but unfortunately that did not occur to me at the time. There was a lot of the coating left (2/3) over when I poured out the excess.

I used this on the 1971 Super Beetle I am restoring. I was so very impressed at the outcome! I fallowed the instructions to a "T" and it created such an amazing finish inside the tank! Very impressed with it!

I'm resurrecting an antique car, and the 77 year old gas tank had lots of rust in it. I got most of the rust out with vinegar, but this kit was great for removing the rest of it and coating it. Without a doubt, follow the directions carefully, and wear gloves. The cleaner got more rust out, and the metal prep left a nice gray coating on the tank. Rinsing out the metal prep wasn't hard, but when it comes to drying the tank, it will take much longer than you think. I left a heat gun pointing in through the sender opening and the filler neck, but even after changing positions several times, it took over an hour to dry. Be patient! The final coating was easy to apply, but there was a baffle in the tank that took some additional maneuvering of the tank to get the coating on it. I had used the POR15 coating by itself on a motorcycle tank that was also rusty, and it works quite well. I will say even after 96 hours (4 days), there's still a strong smell of the coating, so maybe giving some extra time to make sure it's really dry is worthwhile. Maybe a week or more.
