Default Re: Fuel TankCoating

BlockIslandGuy What you did to the Ford truck tank's was not nessissary. Stil not a problem.
Sounds like you got some BS undercoating and then you got the 3M Rubberized undercoating which is a much better product.

Don't even think about using it on a marine tank. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Coal tar epoxy was first used in the offshore oil industry.
The reason for using it in boat's is to keep any water from coroding the outside of the tank. This is especially true if the tank is foamed in.
The biggest factor is a leaking tank hatch. keep the water out and there is not a problem.
Another factor that coroides tank's is place rubber aginst the tank. Rubber has carbon in it and react's to alum.
