Fuel tank POR 15 results?

[Kartrdad]

Found a 86 930 that has not been run since 1990

I removed the tank, after seeing a level of corrosion once the fuel was drained
Has anyone had experience using the POR 15 fuel tank repair system?
Is it a suitable DIY project . Satisfactory results?

Thanks for the input

had it on for a year, was easy to use and no problems since. did inside and out. the internal stuff worked a treat and the exterior coating looks awesome:

Very interested in this as there have always been concerns raised about coating the plastic swirl pot that is in the interior of the tank....I presume that you saw no issues with the POR gas tank interior treatment or/?

I just used a POR kit on a 914 tank. The kit is easy enough to use and the epoxy coating goes on really thick. I had a good bit of pinhole rust in this tank and it seems to have been sealed up really well. I also epoxied the outside of the tank after removing all rust and prepping with 3m metal conditioners and detergents after the inside was sealed. Im pretty sure it will never leak again. I haven't put fuel back in this tank yet, but if I had to do this over tomorrow I would use the POR kit again. It seems like a good product.

This will give you an idea of how rusty the tank was. This was after filling it with water so I could safely cut a hole for the filler neck:



Here is a shot of the inside after the treatment. You can't see the edge of the cut real real well here, but the epoxy is at least 1/16" thick on the inside.

I've used it on numerous motorcycle gas tanks with GREAT results. It's not like "Kreem", which forms a shell inside the tank, and can flake off or chip, or allow rust to continue. POR-15 bonds to the metal and really works.

I'd recommend it.
