    ATTN Brent!

    Brent
    I posted this fuel system tech thread back in June and mentioned the work you do on fuel tank restorations in post #1. If there is anything you might want to add to this either for or against what i wrote? Feel free to add a comment onto that first post. Your input would be valuable to the information.

    Thanks Brent, this is the insight i was looking for. When you find the time can you copy your reply to that thread as a comment in post #1.
    Make any changes that you want or feel are necessary

      Would love to know Brent's preferred brand of sealer, especially since ethanol seems to eat thru anything

      I too have wondered how a 1 QT can is supposed to treat the entire inside of a tank

      I guess since he does a bunch of tanks as a group, it is cost effective to buy 100 gallons and treat them all at once

        Wowza, that looks great! it also looks like a helluva lot of work, but clearly worth it

        and you obviously have it down to a science since you have clearly avoided distortion. Must be using TIG, in order to seal a tank seam

          I am wondering how they were originally posted to the site, because i do not see them in Brent's media album.

            Brent thanks

            Can you upload them back to your media album on your profile page when you find the time. Then i can see what happened from that point and repost them

            Gas Tank Question - Now That The Rust Has Been Removed, Should I Seal It ??
            by conaway2
            Over the past three weeks, I’ve poured a gallon of Ospho into the tank (removed from the car) from my 1929 Sport Coupe and let it sit for 5 days. I also added 2 lbs of 1” galvanized roofing nails and shook the tank for many hours over the course of the 5 days.

            The tank initially had light rust on the bottom, and the sides and top of the tank had no rust at all; the metal looked new....

            Gas Tank Rust Removal
            by CSPIDY
            Finally got around to addressing the rust in the gas tank of my 28 Tudor.
            the plan is to remove it, fill it with 10 gallons of Evaporust, clean with Por-15 cleaner degreaser, then prep with the Por-15 metal prep, followed with Por-15 paint coating.
            what are your thoughts? I have heard good reports on the Por-15 paint but have some reservations using an internal coating.
            any advise...

            Cleaning and Sealing (?) a Model A Gas Tank - ???
            by conaway2
            I last cleaned and sealed a Model A gas tank 35 years ago and have had no gas tank rust problems on this roadster since. I used the Eastwood products that were available at that time.

            I’m now ready to clean and seal the tank on a 1929 Sport Coupe I’m working on, and there are many more products available today. Paul Shinn has also released a video showing use of lead air gun pellets...

            Has anyone used Electrolysis to remove rust from inside your gas tank?

            any more comments on this sealer? I am having 2 tanks cleaned and stripped at the moment. No leaks when I dropped them off. I heard mixed feelings on sealing VS not?...

            Gas tank sealer
            by Corley
            When I built the 29 pickup, I used some Red Sealer on the gas tank. It came in a quart can, and when I dumped out the excess, I had almost a full quart left over. So, I saved it. Saw that can a few months back, shook it, and it was still liquid. So, I planned to use it on the new tank that I just welded a new filler spout in, just I case I had any pin hole leaks. It is a VW van tank, long and...

            YARGTT ( Yet Another Rusty Gas Tank Thread )
            by cpf240
            I've been following the various threads here on how members have been dealing with rusty fuel tanks. While I'd love to pull the tank and ship it off to Brent, that will have to wait.
            The Rust911 concentrate should arrive today. After a PM session over FB ( Facebook, not the ) with the Rust911 people, I'll be picking up 10 gallons of distilled water to use in the process.

            As...

            Tank sealer removal
            by bill the collector
            I bought a 30-31 gas tank that has a black tar like sealer inside that was done some time in the past. The man I got it from said they tried everything to remove it, without success. It had been getting into the filter and carb, cloging things up. They gave up on trying to remove whatever "it" is, and replaced the tank. I'd like to get it clean, and, I'm thinking someone may have run into...

            Rinsing Out Fuel Tank
            by Jordan
            I am sure this topic has been beaten to death, along with which brand of tires and oil....

            But has anyone done a simple "rinse" or flushing of the fuel tank before with minimal chemicals? My new car was stored for 20 years before my purchase. I do believe the tank was dry when it was stored as there was nothing in it when I took the cap off. It looked alright in there. ...
