    What is your favorite tank sealer?

    Hello all.
    I would like to coat the inside of my gas tank. I have used Kreem in the past and was not happy - difficult to tell if it coated everything.
    I thought I might try the tank sealer from Eastwood. Has anyone tried this stuff?
    Thanks in advance,

    I have never done a motorcycle tank, but I did the tank on my truck with the POR 15 tank sealer kit. Its a bit time consuming but let me tell you, it works like nothing else. I used the excess to do two 5 gallon gas cans also. I would definately recomend it.

    $.02

      Thanks,
      By the way - my tank in not leaking or rusted. I'm mostly wanting to prevent rust.

        that will do it, it coats the tank with some sort of silver lining that is hard as a rock. Kit has cleaner, prep, coating, additive for storage. Is a little pricey, but you get what you pay for. Had to get mine online.

          I have done 2 tanks with a 3 part kit called "Kreem". Once dry, the stuff is like white ceramic. It's great, and a little pricey, I believe the whole kit is like $34

            I did my old 1100E tank with Kreem. It didn't last as long as I thought, 8 years and it was beginning to fail. Of course, I am impatient, and that could affect the quality of my work!8-[ But when it starts flaking off, it's a bummer, so take your time and do it right.

              POR 15 is what I used on my GS850G tank that was puting rust in the carbs. Did a nice job, but don't get it on anything or it NEVER comes off!!

                I did my GS1100 tank with POR-15 three years ago and it still looks great. The biggest reason I went with POR-15 instead of Kreem is that the chemicals involved are much less dangerous. The Kreem kit uses Methyl Ethyl Ketone (MEK) which is nasty stuff. The POR ingredients are much nicer on skin, lungs, DNA, the environment, etc.

                  Don't use any liner. If the tank is rust free and not leaking don't bother. Just keep a full tank of fuel if it sits for any length of time to prevent rust.

                    Thanks for all the opinions.
                    So no one has tried this stuff from Eastwood?
