There is a process where you mix washing soda (Sodium Carbonate) and =
water, pour it in the tank and apply electricity from a battery charger. =
The tank gets one lead and a sacrificial steel rod gets another. The =
rust is attracted to the sacrificial steel. I used the process on a =
steel file and was amazed at how it worked. Obviously one needs to =
ensure the charger leads/steel don=E2=80=99t short out but that is easy =
with any form of insulating material (tape, rubber, plastic etc.). There =
are How To=E2=80=99s and videos all over the internet about the process. =
Some might also recommend a coating of phosphoric acid (then thoroughly =
dry) before applying the sealer. The Sodium Carbonate and the =
Phosphoric Acid should both be available at pool supply stores. My city =
has a Toxic recycle site and they offer things like this for free (when =
in stock). From there use the most reliable sealer which I=E2=80=99ve =
read is very debatable.
Note: My posts usually don=E2=80=99t show up on the list itself so you =
may be the only one who gets this.

Subject: [Tigers] Gas tank resealer
Greetings from Chicago home of the Cubs.
Would appreciate any comments, references, for cleaning and reseal of =
Tiger or Alpine gas tanks. Also the name of any shop who performs this =
from start to finish. Midwest area would be best as freight now days can =
kill a lot of projects or turn a bargain into a expensive venture.
Thanks in advance for your response.
