O.T. gas tank??
 

Hello Group
Sorry this isn't really Jeep related but
I wonder if anyone has any ideas on how to remedy
a problem I'm having with a metal gas tank for a
yamaha gas generator. The inside of the metal tank
is flaking rust which in turn clogs up the carburetor
Buying a new tank is way to expensive. I wonder if
you can use a type of paint or something to prevent
the metal from flaking rust
Thanks in advance for any ideas
Cheers
Frank

Check out Bike shops. They sell an epoxy kit for sealing the insides of
rusty gas tanks. There was an AC delco shop up the road that even
offered the finished job for $75.00 on vehicle gas tanks.

Take the tank off and take it to a radiator shop who will hot tank it. Then a
sealer or slosh compound may be used but I would only use one that is alcohol
proof.

i was just going to say the same thing :) my brother just did this to an
old bike he's working on- the kit is 3 parts: 1st part dissolves the rust,
2nd part neutralizes the part 1, 3rd part coats the inside of the tank. the
kit was about $30, IIRC.
