This is suppose to be the best product on the market.
 I had this done at my go to radiator shop locally about 2 years ago and when I had it boiled out and some welding done. Now keep in mind I am just now getting to the point of firing this car up for the first time so NO GAS was in the tank until now. After putting some fuel in, as a precautionary check, I decided to drain some fuel from the tank to see what ever I could from the drained fuel and it had a reddish tinge. Called Damon Inc the manufacturer, this morning and spoke to the technical people and was told this is normal just the die coming off and will cause no harm they get this call all the time. BUT if were RED then that would be a problem. The red dye added to the coating to allow you to visually see that you have it fully coated vs. having it clear and not being able to tell the coverage. Looking for input from anyone here who has actually used this product. Thanks (IMG:style_emoticons/default/white914.jpg) |

Thanks (IMG:style_emoticons/default/white914.jpg) Iv'e talked to people who used it on their tanks years ago and it's held up perfectly. In fact, one top race car mechanic told me its the only product he would use on his cars. The red tinged gas is normal. |
