There's a tip in the instructions on the internet that say leave the tank laying on its top whilst it sets so that if any sealer puddles then it will be at the top of the tank where the fuel doesn't sit like the bottom of the tank that has fuel sitting there most of the time when in use.
Por 15 rocks I Dipped a big dog choker collar in a lil excess that can not be poured back in the can. Next day it was like all the chain links were welded together. Insane. Totally impressive stuff. Slight chance it's from the mother ship.😂
Anybody who reads these comments should know that it says to cure for 96 hours or 4 days, not 36 hours. They also tell you to use ALL of the sealer in the Ca; when first pouring it in.
I put a small can of this in a full size 65 ranchero gas tank. I think the day they are 14-20 gallons tanks. I couldn’t get ANY OF the sealer to drain out?! Oh well it’s on the car now I’ll be waiting 96 hours for it to dry and hopefully everything is ok.
The directions on the can says to let sit 30 minutes on each side so that every area has soaked in it for 30 minutes. Then the can says 4 days before adding fuel. Does your can say this?
poor tank prep.. look at the mess around the petcock hole.use phosphoric acid and sharp clean pea gravel.. shake the shit out of it.. neutralize with baking soda and water.. rinse with water.. use methanol or mek to remove any water. get it dry ( use a lamp to heat the tank).. then follow instruction on what ever type coating you use.
I'm getting ready to derust my tank on a Puch Maxi. Have got 5L of degreaser and 5L of 30% Phosphoric Acid. Tank not leaking so far as I can tell, but was thinking of adding POR15 sealer after the derust. Have a bag of bolts I intend to use instead of pea gravel. Never done this before and wondered if it would be OK to use sealant after degrease and Phosphoric, instead of the POR's own degreaser and Metal Prep?
So POR 15s degreaser is just a regular degreaser I would asssume but the metal prep they use is phosphoric acid base I’ve used that before for some other projects and it’s the same thing as phosphoric acid, so should work fine.

Awesome tip, thank you for sharing!
why does it matter?
If I'm correct, rust will develop more where the gas is not, ergo the top of the tank.
@@watermelon4zombies yes, any water that gets in will turn to condensation and collect at the top of the tank, causing rust
But I always keep my tank on F
I know this is old but for those who come upon it, the instructions say 96 hours to sit inside the tank, NOT 36 hours.
Well mine has been sitting for 360 hours!!
Por 15 rocks

Very. Really dig how you narrate

And says to boil hot water and mix? Not that I've seen a vid yet of it being done...
@@Ryan_1997 boiling water is for the degreaser not the coating.
Whats it like now 4 years later?
I use an old whisper fish tank air pump to dry the tank out over night. helps alot
I used rubbing alcohol on my hands and it took the sealer off fairly easy
not for me

How big is the gas tank? 20 gals or 30 gals
@2:24 Name checks out =) Well done.

Sit 30 minutes on each side for cleaners, derusters etc etc. sealant has no time for instructions just to move the tank around then drain.
How long did you wait in between cleaning rust out and sealing
I know it’s been a year but immediately
After drying of course
Does ethanol affect this sealer ?
No
Hi would this work on atv plastic tank.
Plastic cans don’t rust. Should not need to coat it.
Can you use this to fix scratches made by gas nozzle? My tank is new and pump guy put deep the nozzle and made some scratches in the inside.
lol WHAT
not a problem those scratches and yet it does fix those
Thanks for the help
Hi, was that an 8oz size container of sealer? Nice job. Thanks.
Yes I believe this was the 8 oz can, it states a half a pint so whatever that is in oz. Glad you enjoyed the video
NEVER SHAKE THE CAN.......read the instructions!
Thanks man
Great!
Good video. Thanks dude
dumbass
WOW
Would anyone know how much sealer to use per gallon/size of tank? Don’t want to use to little
It doesn't matter, just drain excess out.

@@Skecheyboy Thanks
@@matthewjenkins1161 I used bb's instead of bolts or peagravel and it worked great!
DUDE! you talking into a can??
Probably was lol
I’m an albatroaz😜. I would have shaken the shit out of the POR15 before opening and adding to the tank ada then dat great vid.🤙🏽
Acually I did but I forgot to mention it in the video lol.
What is ada?
Do not shake can only stir after opening
Shaken... not stirred
DO NOT SHAKE STIR ONLY. RUNNING BECAUSE YOU SHUCK IT BRO
I find that shaking vigorously is best. Low viscosity helps it to flow to every bit of the tank.
