So I read about the procedure, seems to cover a couple days and the left over chemicals to deal with. I wanted to hear from those members that have done it?
Is it too much of trouble and having to deal with it, did it come out ok, or are you pretty screwed if you dont follow the instructions exactly. Is there a shortcut maybe ? Let me know your .02 cent Thanks a bunch (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Ted |

I did my tank about two months ago and the result was excellent.
I didn't have any flake or scale but decided to do it anyway as the bottom half of the tank was brown and rusty looking so it was a good opportunity while I had the car in bits anyway. Definately read and follow the instructions. The rust kill part is spectacular and very effective. Two bits of advice. Take time to make up an effective seal on the openings. I would make up a light metal or plastic cover using all the screws from the existing fittings so you get a really good seal. This helps to keep the whole job clean. Don't get the grey stuff on your hands - it takes weeks to wear off. Oh, also, try to find some big cardboard sheets to lay out to do the job on, or depending on weather do it outside. PM me if you want any specific questions answered but the result looks very good if it's done right. |
