gas tank sealer?
I just recently had my gas tank cleaned out at a radiator shop was wondering if i have to put some kind of sealer in the inside to prevent it from rusting again?

They shoulda did it when they had it, my shop did. It's some kinda red stuff. If they didn't then yes, seal it

Re: gas tank sealer?
POR-15 and Eastwood both sell a tank sealer as well.

I did something in a bike once and it was white when all done. It worked great.

Another vote for POR-15 here. I just did my tank. It's been waiting to go back in for a few weeks now.

Re: gas tank sealer?
I used Red Kote. Nice thing is you can see where it goes.

Re: gas tank sealer?
I have used POR 15 on five tanks and had good results all the way around. Takes most of the day if you follow instructions.

Re: gas tank sealer?
Curious as to what they charged to clean your tank? I have also heard that it ruins the welding or soldering around the filler neck...any problems ?

Re: gas tank sealer?
I do motorcycle tanks. Anytime I deal with raw tanks, I use the Red Kote.
