POR15 the fuel tank, Any experiences with the job ? Options

[913B]

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)

if the rust bothers you, have a radiator shop boil it out, then skip the sealer and keep the water out per above instruction.

think long term and think of what the problems you will have if the coating ever fails, 5,10,25 years from now.

That's not practical advice.

Radiator shops are fine, but the OP concerned DIY.

No matter how you do it, removing rust leaves bare metal that's prone to flashing more rust unless it's coated with something.

"keep the tank full," while better than keeping the tank empty, doesn't prevent rust in a tank. There is plenty of moisture and oxygen available for rust to continue.

Thinking long term, I'm left to conclude that a little rust becomes a lot more rust 5,10,25 years from now.
