A point in coating the interior of the tank:

 

If the tank is not completely clean and free of impurities and rust, the coating will not affix to the metal and will detach.  It will then be pulled into the fuel line, blocking the fuel filter.  In some instances, the coating material will clog the fuel pump and/or carburetor.

So, the previous owner said he and his friend cleaned out the tank. I wonder if they tried coating it. That's a good point. All other parts are working properly since I'm driving the goon all the time running a couple of gas hoses into a 5 galon gas container.

I haven't heard anyone in the hot rod community say that POR 15 peels off, and most those guys are using it and recommend it, maybe the people with issues didn't follow the instructions properly?, I guess I'll find out myself, I did follow the instructions step by step with no shortcuts, will see, crossing my fingers!

Do you have any pictures of your actual gas tank sealing with POR 15.

 

I've seen the video you posted I want to see yours.

So you don't have the original pictures stored anywhere? Oh I forgot you don't have a computer.

 

Not talking about me, I don't use POR -15, I have had nothing but great results from the tanks I have had sealed.

 

 

I'll state it again, oics or it didn't happen.
