Fuel tank sealer
Does anyone have any insight on sealing fuel tanks? I have taken them to a rad shop and had them do it but I was looking to do my next one myself. Does anyone know where and if the material can be bought by the everyday Joe?
My dad once told me if it wasn't for bad luck......I wouldn't have any luck at all......

If you can't fix it with a hammer, you've got an electrical problem.

I have been trying to buy Red Kote here in the maritimes, but it seems you have to have a license to do that.
Also, POR products do not seem to be available either.
Best shot is the radiator shop. You might be able to buy the Red Kote from them. But as I have said before, it is probably just as cheap and a heck of a lot easier to let them do it.
If you have more than one tank to do, you should be able to work out some kind of discount with them as well. Also, send some business their way and it could result in cheaper costs for you

Here's a good step-by-step write up on how to repair and seal a tank. Even though it's a VW, there's a wealth of information here and has links to POR.

I've used both the white (PVC based?) Eastwood sealer and the POR-15 sealer. Both have done the job, but the POR product was easier to use, and with the Cub tank still attached to the hood the fewer times you have to turn it the better.
If you use the POR sealer you will need two pints - the tank baffle is just a little more surface area than one pint can cover. One other tip I would suggest is that when you have drained all the excess sealer you can (or care to wait for) from the tank, turn it upside down, i.e., cap opening down, to dry.

A kick in the pants is still a step forward.
