Reply to "Fuel Tank Restoration - Preservation"

I don't know the brand but I did use an interior tank "slosh". Came as a two step. A cleaner, then a liquid teflon type coating.

The exterior of the tank had no corrosion on it. Just painted it with satin black Rustoleum.

I was just "in the tank" about two months ago because I had to change the sender. I could clearly see internally into the tank and the teflon coating was still visible.

I saw no internal corrosion.

I did change the tank plug at that time also to one that is flush with the bottom of the tank and has an internal hex socket.

So far so good.

If your tank is showing no issues externally, I don't know if it's a great idea to sand blast it?

I'm pretty sure the exterior was galvanized, then just painted by the factory.

If you find yourself in a position where the current condition of the tank is questionable then I would consider the stainless steel tank from Hall Pantera rather than replace it with an "original" factory steel tank.

the stainless is actually $100 cheaper.
