I have used a tank sealing compound from "The Shop" on several old farm
tractors and it has worked fine. Small holes are sealed and any remaining
rust gets locked in place.

Subject: [TR] Gas tank repair

I am about to install a gas tank in a '57 small-mouth and first filled it
with gas to check for leaks.  Wouldn't you know it - a pinhole leak at the
bottom corner.

In the past I have had tanks professionally "sealed", but it was expensive
and I have heard mixed feedback.

I see Eastwood advertising gas tank repair products and Permatex has one out
there.  Does anyone have experience with any of these products or
suggestions / advice on dealing with the issue?  Thanks!

Funny,

I'm pulling the tank out of my '57 today.  Same problem.

I've had it pressure tested and repaired twice.  I'm ordering a new one on
Monday.....

If I do decide on a new one, I will get an aluminum one from Jorge in San
Diego.  Bought from him before and both times I was well pleased.

Subject: Re: [TR] Gas tank repair

When I did the restoration on my TR250 I used Eastwoods Kit, my tank =
wasn't leaking, but I did it as a preventative measure. If I recall the =
process has 3 steps. There is a step where you use acid to clean the =
inside so be careful. I threw a handful of nuts and bolts in the tank to =
help dislodge any rust during the acid step while agitating and flipping =
the tank. Make sure its sealed well. Then I believe the next step was a =
phosphate solution and after that the latex. It was a bit laborious but =
totally doable.

Andrew -

FYI - The last time I spoke with Jorge (about a month ago) he said he was
retiring soon and giving up the business.  Mainly just closing out his
inventory now.

I do not know him well enough to say whether he means that or just says
that sort of thing from time to time.

Hi Andrew,

I used the Eastwood kit on my tank about 3 years ago but first I had the
tank chemically cleaned at a local metal refinisher where they dip the parts
in some kind of nasty material that removes everything down to clean metal.
I think it cost me about $100.00 for the cleaning. He put some kind of
phosphorous coating on the bare metal to retard rusting. When I got it back
the inside and outside was spotless and it actually didn't leak! That was a
good starting point for the kit.

It's all painted on the outside and coated on the inside so it should be
good to go for as long as I have it. LOL
