PathfinderProject1988 Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 Anyone know of a place to get one cheap or a cure to get rust out and keep it out? I've managed to get a bunch of the rust out but its impossible to get it all thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingman Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 Lacquer thinner and a chain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devonianwalk Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 ^^^ This. You can also use Acetone and a chain. I broke down and got a tank off of Rockauto in the end. I realized my tank ('77 CJ5) rusted all the way through when Acetone started flying all over my legs when I was shaking the tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

parkerhdr Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 There is a pant product called Pour15 it is by far best way to stop rust and inhibit rust later down the road I actually plan on doing the whole underside of my Patsy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingman Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 Yeah itll give you problems, but really only slowly clogging fuel filters and the strainer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamzan Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 Rockauto.com has new tanks pretty cheap. I recently bought one, no issues at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slartibartfast Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 I just bought a new tank because mine's leaking. Ended up going with one from eBay, since Rockauto wanted about $100 for shipping alone. Can't say how good it is since it hasn't shown up yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vividkid Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 Mine was really bad. I ended up pulling the tank to clean it. I Filled it with water, drained and then used a shopvac to remove all the loose rust. I then had to take a 2X4 and beat the side of the tank to knock the rest of the rust off the walls and re-vacume. It took quite some time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkiBumBrian Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 (edited) Caswell makes a gas tank sealer that works well. It will fill smaller holes and coats the inside of the tank with a layer of epoxy. Awesome stuff, about 40 bucks online will do a 20 gallon tank...Blue Lightning also makes a similar product that I use on Poly tanks, Caswell does not bond to cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE).
