Kreem removal..after the soaking

[chuck hahn]

So after then Acetone has turned the stuff to slimey snot, what do I rinse the stuff out of the tank with??? Water?? I think maybe a second quart of Acetone after the initial dose has been rinsed out???

Will gas further rinse the slime away once I dump out the acetone?? The liner is basically gelled snot so I would think gas would dissolve some at that point...Yes???

If youve dealt with the sticky slime before please post up your process to ensure its all rinsed out. Thanks.

I use aquarium rocks to scrub the metal. The type without the plastic coating work best. They are a pain in the rump to get out but I haven't found anything better to scrub down the inside metal.

Thanks ED. But it would seem the slime would have to be removed as much as possible first right??? I got a nice patch of pee gravel I can throw a shovel load in but what good would that do getting it all coated in smutchzz???

I set it on fire.......post 42 here. Acetone was a joke and i decided to go old school and be done with the crap.

Hey thanks Chuck.....that is a pretty gutsy move....setting it over a fire. Wonder if an acid dip would do it? Did you reline it? If so what product did you use?

Thanks again Chuck

I tried paint stripper and the stuff just turned like a greasy snot. We used to burn out heads and oil and tranny pans many many moons ago so i thought what the hel! do I got to loose this time. So in it went and as you can see from further posts it was non the worse for wear. Yes i relined it seeing that everything about the metal had now been undeniably compromised. Used POR 15.
