Gas tank sealer question

Hey,

I'm interested in either a new tank or restoring the old one and wanted to know if anybody here had any experience with the gas tank restoring kits that Mac's and Eastwood sell. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

I would just drop it and take it to a radiator shop. They can boil it out and seal it.

Any good sealer will work, but you first need to clean it. I drop about 50 nuts and bolts it the tank and shake it around until your arms start to get numb, this will knock anything loose. I then pour about a gallon of laquer thimmer in to clean any remaining gas or tarnish residue. I rinse it well with water and then pour some muriatic acid in to get any rust out. I then rinse again, and let it dry. At this point you can fix any pinholes with JB Weld. It is now ready to be sealed, I use a sealer I get at a radiator shop called Red Top Sealer. It works better that anything I have ever used. It will take a day or two, but it will save you some money and the results are well worth it. I have restored dozens of tanks this way.
