POR-15 Fuel Tank Sealer was Formulated for metal and developed as a high-tech sealer that is impervious to all fuels, including the diesel, DEF additives, E10 ethanol, and high alcohol content fuels. This gas tank sealant comes in a silver color and has superior strength with fuel resistance. Also, this fuel tank coating acts as a liner and stops rust, corrosion, and small fuel leaks. Fuel tanks must be free from plastic parts, contamination, and be structurally sound before applying sealer. Gas tanks should be free from loose rust, old sealers, cleaned with POR-15 Cleaner Degreaser, and etched with POR-15 Metal Prep for best adhesion.
Color: Silver
Coverage of this Gas Tank Sealer:
8 fl oz is enough to coat the inside of a 6 gallon fuel tank
16 fl oz (pint) is enough to coat the inside of a 12 gallon fuel tank
32 fl oz (quart) is enough to coat the inside of a 25 gallon fuel tank
128 fl oz (gallon) is enough to coat the inside of a 100 gallon fuel tank
Before: This fuel tank had small pinhole leaks on the end near the seam. If the tank had a competitors old failed sealer, it should be removed with POR-15 Strip Gel before starting the repair process.
Step 1: Mix 1 quart of POR-15 Cleaner Degreaser with 1 quart of hot water. This solution will be used to remove any gum, varnish or sludge from the inside of the tank.
Step 2: Pour the entire bottle of POR-15 Metal Prep to dissolve rust, coat the tank with zinc phosphate, and etch the metal for better adhesion of the sealer.
Step 3: After the tank is clean, drain the tank and rinse thoroughly with water. Let the tank dry. When totally dry, pour in the entire can of Fuel Tank Sealer.
Step 4: After all surfaces have been coated, drain the tank for about an hour to remove excess sealer from the tank.
Step 5: Once repaired, use fuel preservation & stabilizer to keep your entire fuel system in proper working order and to avoid "stale gas" problems in your future!
It is important to understand each product in your repair kit and how it works. Proper chemical interaction is essential for achieving the best possible bond of the sealer to the inside of the tank. Fuel Tank Sealer does not adhere well to plastic. If your fuel tank contains plastic components inside, they should be removed before applying Fuel Tank Sealer.
