Kroil is probably the best penetrant commercially available. The small squeeze can is the cheapest and will last a long time. Some of the better hardware stores carry it, or you can order it from Amazon or Eastwood. A friend of mine had a business that overhauled turbochargers and said it was about the only stuff that would work on parts which had seen very high temperatures. We also used it in the jet engine business on fasteners that had seen over 1200F. Zyglo or FPI fluid, used for Florescent Penetrant Inspection on nickle and aluminum alloys also works well because it's designed to penetrate tight cracks, but I suspect it's a lot more expensive and harder to get than Kroil.

I order mine direct from Kroil, ends up costing about 110.00 bucks for a case of 12 with shipping, sometimes they have a sale and it is a little cheaper and you get the bigger cans. I usually split the case with my fishing friends. I have the small can and the spray cans, the stuff works great. I keep a can on my boat at all times. A friend of mine could not loosen the bolts on his trailer, he sprayed them overnight with Kroil and claims he was practically taking them off with his fingers the next day. It will be interesting to see if it helps with the tank fittings. It is supposed to get into one millionth of an inch.

Are you sure that the tank vent is not clogged or the vent hose is not cloogged or kinked,a flattened primer bulb could be a venting issue with the tank.Good luck

Fasteners that see over 1200F are a real bear to remove, and I know that Kroil works on them. Most of the shuttle never got that hot, but then again, neither do most gas tanks, so I guess Whitmore's might work for that!
