Rusty tank

 I did a search and came across a number of posts on how to repair a
rusty tank. They were all a bit old though. There seem to be a number
of products out there like Kreem, and Red coat. Does anyone have a
strong recommendation about getting the rust out of your tank, then
whether to use something to line the tank. If so what products, and
what method?

Get the rust out with pieces of chain, nuts/bolts/washers or even
aquarium gravel. Some leave it at that, keep gas in and use a filter.
Use Kreem and read the directions. If you need to line it.

 

If you have a Tractor Supply STore near you,get their Milk Stone
Remover.It comes in gallon bottles $7.50 and you can delute it up to 8-1
depending on the amount of rust.It will not hurt paint at 4-1 ans will
leave a Zinc like coating.You can strain it through a cloth and reuse it
several times also.Don't use Kreem,use Por-15.Kreem is a flexible
coating and will come off and flake if not done exactly right (to many
horror stories).

SO MUCH TO GIVE
BUT NOTHING TO OFFER!
BUT I WILL BE HERE!!!!!!

 



If you're as lazy and cheap as me, you just go to an in-line filter in the
first place.  Get one of those big transparent ones, so you can see when it
starts to clog up with rust flakes and needs replacement.  I had a spare
wired to my frame for a year or so before I had to use it.

Most people don't have the room to put an inline filter or if you add
hose and make a loop that ain't cool either. I think they should make
plastic tanks or plastic insides and a FACTORY LINE FILTER.
