Why? It's an inferior product.

Consider por15, instead.

I have used both kreem and Por 15. Por 15 is by far the better product.
From my experince if you want the same effect as kreem without the hassle
just go ahead and pour some cottage cheese in the tank and strart chasing
fuel issues sooner rather than later.
If the tank is new I would just run it as is and be sure to top it off it it
is going to sit for any amount of time. If you use stabil it is only rated
for 1 year of storage. Por 15 makes a fuel stabilizer that they guarantee
for 2 years.

If I understand what you're saying, I would think you wouldn't want it on
the threads for the cap, since it'll make it hard to screw the cap on. I've
heard por15 is a better product, but whatever you use, follow the prep
instructions excactly or it could peel.

I used the POR when I built the chopper buell. Never
had a brand new raw steel tank before, so coating it sounded
like a good idea. I followed the directions closely, but time will
tell if it's any good. I used the shipping plugs in the tank while
prepping/coating it. As a result the filler neck threads did get
coated. I've run 8-10 tanks of fuel through it since September
and the cap screws in well with no signs of peeling the coating
yet.
